Living Without Your Love
Samantha Sang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I passed you on the street
Would you look the other way, afraid that we would meet?
Could it be that it's down to tears?
After all the love we knew, It was so hard losin' you
Now I feel it comin' on,
That emptiness again

'Cause I've been livin' without your love
Just makin' believe I can still get by
Payin' the price inside
God knows, It's the hardest thing I'll ever do,
Losin' you

I tried to put the thoughts away
But I saw your face before me as you turned to walk away
And I just can't force a smile
'Cause it turned out so wrong after feelin' right so long
And I'm just not ready for
Another day alone

'Cause I've been livin' without your love
Just makin' believe I can still get by
Payin' the price inside
God knows, It's the hardest thing I'll ever do,
Losin' you

And I feel it comin' on,
That emptiness again

'Cause I've been livin' without your love
Just makin' believe I can still get by
Payin' the price inside
God knows, It's the hardest thing I'll ever do,
Livin' without you, Livin' without you

'Cause I've been livin' without your love
Just makin' believe I can still get by
Payin' the price inside
God knows, It's the hardest thing I'll ever do

Livin' without your love




Makin' believe I can still get by
Payin' the price inside
