Since I Don't Have You
Manfred Mann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

And I don't have strong desires
I don't have just a few happy hours
And I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

I don't have happiness
And I guess that I never will again
Since you walked out on me
In walked the misery and he's been here since then

And I don't have love to share
I don't have nobody to care




I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.

The singer describes how they don't have strong desires or happy moments anymore because they don't have love in their life. They're left with a feeling of constant misery since their partner left them. They also don't have anyone to share their feelings with or anyone to care about because they feel like they can't move on from their lost love. This song touches on the universal theme of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on.
