I am Kenny
Michael Kenny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face,
I see it's true
So tell me all about it
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin 'for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to breakdown
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
More than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
Gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

I could hardly believe it
I was shocked when I heard the news
When I heard the news today
When I learned what had happened, it was just today
I had to come and get it straight from you
I needed to hear the truth from you directly
They said you were leavin'
I was told that you were leaving
Someone's swept your heart away
You fell in love with someone else
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
I can tell by the look on your face that it's true
Tell me about the plans you're makin'
Can you describe the plans you are making for your future?
Then tell me one thing more before I go
One more thing, please tell me before I leave
Tell me how am supposed to live without you
How can I survive without you in my life?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
After all this time of loving you
How am I supposed to carry on
How am I supposed to continue living without you?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
Everything I've been living for is now gone
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
Something I've been hoping for is ending
And how can I blame you
I have no right to blame you
When I build my world around the hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
I had hoped that we would be more than just friends, and it was a big part of my life
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
I don't want to think about the consequences of my dreams and hopes
When even now it's more than I can take
It's already too much for me to handle right now
