I know that you won’t call on me
You look like you’re letting go
I know what my instincts are telling me
And you’re fading out
It’s so hard without you
This wasn’t my fault
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me
Sometimes it feels like home
So safe in the shade
But when the summer fades
There’s always something missing
And now that I’m on my own
I know why you just
Just couldn’t stop
And why you had to leave
It’s so hard, without you
This wasn’t my fault
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me
I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined it would be so hard
I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined this would be so hard
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This is all that I remember before you changed
You’re stuck in the dream with next to nothing
I’m all alone and nothings what it seems
Without you next to me
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Nothing Is What It Seems

I know that you won't call on me
You look like you're letting go
I know what my instincts are telling me
And you're fading out
It's so hard without you
This wasn't my fault
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems without you next to me
Sometimes it feels like home
So safe in the shade but when the summer fades
There's always something missing
And now that I'm on my own
I know why you just, just couldn't stop
And why you had to leave
It's so hard without you
This wasn't my fault
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems without you next to me
I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined it would be so hard
I never imagined I would feel so lost
I never imagined this would be so hard
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems without you next to me
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
This is all that I remember before you changed
You're stuck in a dream with next to nothing
I'm all alone and nothing is what it seems without you next to me
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you?
How am I supposed to live without you?
The lyrics to Saosin's song "Nothing Is What It Seems" appear to be about a failing relationship and the aftermath of a breakup. The singer seems to be addressing their former partner, who has pulled away and is "letting go." The lines "tell me how am I supposed to live without you" and "nothing is what it seems without you next to me" express the singer's feelings of loss and confusion. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the difficulty of moving on from the relationship.
The second verse reveals more about what went wrong in the relationship. The singer mentions feeling safe and secure with the partner, but ultimately something was missing. The partner couldn't stop whatever action led to the breakup, and now the singer is left alone and struggling to cope.
The repeated line "I never imagined I would feel so lost/I never imagined it would be so hard" further emphasizes the theme of loss and the unexpected difficulty of moving on. Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the pain of losing someone you love and the struggle to rebuild life without them.
