Without You
Kimberley Locke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never even thought to cry
When I heard you say goodbye
Never said where you were going
There's no laughter in the air
Only silence everywhere
And so much left unspoken
Since you've been gone
I haven't been the same
I wish that I could see
Who's to blame

Without you, where do I belong?
Without you, how can I go on?
And No love but yours will ever do
Tell me how am I supposed to live my life?
Without you

Was I lost in you and me
To the point I couldn't see
That what we had was dying
Now it's all that I can do

To see photographs of you

And stop myself from crying
I should learn to live without your love

Got so many memories
But it's not enough

Without you, where do I belong?
Without you, how can I go on?
And no love but yours will ever do
Tell me how am I supposed to live my life
Without you?

I feel helpless and, oh, so all alone

Like I've never felt before

You made me feel alive
But I don't remember what it's like anymore

Without you, where do I belong?
Without you, how can I go on?
And no love but yours will ever do
Tell me how am I supposed to live my life
Without you?

Without you, where do I belong?
Without you, how can I go on?
Tell me how am I supposed to live my life
Without you?

Oh baby where do I belong?




Please tell how can I go on?
Without you...

Overall Meaning

Kimberley Locke's song "Without You" is a poignant ballad about the pain and confusion of a breakup. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the lack of closure in the relationship, saying that she "never even thought to cry" when her lover said goodbye and didn't provide any explanation for their departure. The second line expresses the sense of disconnection she feels with the world around her - "no laughter in the air, only silence everywhere." The line "so much left unspoken" conveys the weight of unexpressed feelings and regrets.


The chorus repeats the refrain "Without you, where do I belong? Without you, how can I go on?" The singer is lost and adrift without her lover, and no other love can replace what she had with them. In the second verse, she wonders if she was blinded by her feelings and missed the signs that their love was dying - "Was I lost in you and me to the point I couldn't see that what we had was dying?" The photos of her lover are a painful reminder of what she's lost, and she is struggling to cope with their absence.


The bridge of the song is a lament - "I feel helpless and, oh, so all alone, like I've never felt before." She remembers how her lover once made her feel alive, but now she can't even remember what that felt like. The final chorus ends with a plea for guidance - "Please tell [me] how can I go on? Without you..."


Overall, "Without You" is a moving portrayal of the heartache that comes with a breakup. The lyrics are relatable, and Locke's soulful voice adds depth and emotion to the song.
