I'd Die Without You
PM Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it my turn to wish you were lying here?
I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world?
Or even imagine your emotions, tell myself anything
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands?
Tell you I love you and you not hear me
Is it my turn to totally understand?
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing

If I have to give away the feeling that I feel
If I have to sacrifice, oh, whatever babe, whatever, baby
If I have to take apart all that I am
Is there anything that I would not do?
'Cause inside I'd die without you, yeah, baby
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you

Oh, I apologize for all the things I've done
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning
Is it my turn to be the one to cry?
Isn't it amazing how some things completely turn around?
So take every little piece of my heart
Yeah, take every little piece of my soul
Yeah, take every little bitty piece of my mind
'Cause if you're gone inside I'd die without you

If I have to give away the feeling that I feel
If I have to sacrifice, oh, whatever babe, whatever, baby
If I have to take apart all that I am
Is there anything that I would not do?
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you




'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you
'Cause inside I'd die without you, die without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I'd Die Without You" by PM Dawn express a deep longing for a loved one who is no longer present. The singer questions whether it is his turn to wish that his partner would be lying next to him, to fictionalize his world and imagine her emotions when she is not around. He wonders if it is his turn to finally express his love but fears that there will be no chance for her to hear him out. The chorus and the repeated phrase "inside I'd die without you" convey the overwhelming feeling of emptiness and desperation that the singer would experience if his love were to leave him.


In the second verse, the singer expresses remorse for things he may have done wrong in the past and recognizes that he is currently drowning in sadness. He asks if it is his turn to be the one crying, and reflects on the surprising ways in which life can turn around. The final chorus repeats the message that the singer would do anything and sacrifice anything to keep his love near him, because he believes he would not be able to survive without her.


"I'd Die Without You" is a deeply emotional ballad that captures the essence of heartache and the pain of separation. The singer's vulnerability and honesty shine through the lyrics, and the repetitive nature of the chorus emphasizes the importance of the loved one to the singer's existence. Overall, the song is a beautiful testament to the power of love and the desperation it can inspire.
