Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't live without ya. I can't live without ya.
Girl you got me shook, after all of the fighting and the screaming
Snatched up the keys then you got in the range knowing that its raining
(why'd I let you go) I don't know how long it took but I know that I drove all around,
Trying to calm you down wouldn't answer my calls, now I'm scared girl where'd you go
Damn girl why'd you leave like that? whatever I said didn't mean it like that,
How you expect for me not to fight back when you scream like that, girl I love you more than that.
The other night at the club when I hit off a blunt. I love you more that.
When I smile at a butt cause your all that I want.
I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl, what do I do.
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya.
And girl it breaks my heart if I broke your heart what do I do?
I can't live without ya girl, I can't live without ya baby I don't care if I'm not alright
If I could just love you tonight, I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl what do I do
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya girl
Wish I could tell you how I feel, everything that I'm working for is yours
How could I ignore when I wanna be yours girl I slam the door (right on our love)
Girl a man don't understand the difference between a penny and a dime must of lost my mind
You and me was on the grind once upon a time (why'd I let you go)
I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl, what do I do.
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya.
And girl it breaks my heart if I broke your heart what do I do?
I can't live without ya girl, I can't live without ya baby I don't care if I'm not alright
If I could just love you tonight, I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl what do I do
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya girl
Girl when I find ya I'm gone stand right by ya girl
You're my life and I can't live without you
I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl, what do I do.
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya.
And girl it breaks my heart if I broke your heart what do I do?
I can't live without ya girl, I can't live without ya baby I don't care if I'm not alright
If I could just love you tonight, I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl what do I do
I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya girl

I'm overwhelmed by your abrupt departure after arguing and yelling. You took the car keys and drove away, even though it was pouring outside.
Damn girl why'd you leave like that? whatever I said didn't mean it like that, How you expect for me not to fight back when you scream like that, girl I love you more than that.
I'm sorry for the things I said that made you leave. I didn't mean them the way they came out, but your screaming made me react. Nevertheless, I still love you deeply.
I can't forgive myself if I hurt you girl, what do I do. I can't live with ya, I can't live without ya. And girl it breaks my heart if I broke your heart what do I do?
I can't bear the thought of hurting you, and not being with you hurts me just as much. If I did something to hurt you, I don't know what I would do or how I could go on without you.
Wish I could tell you how I feel, everything that I'm working for is yours How could I ignore when I wanna be yours girl I slam the door (right on our love)
I want to express how I feel about you and make sure you know that everything I'm doing is for us. It kills me that I let my emotions get the best of me and walk out on our relationship.
Girl a man don't understand the difference between a penny and a dime must of lost my mind You and me was on the grind once upon a time (why'd I let you go)
I'd been foolish to leave you because I didn't appreciate what I had. I was blinded by something trivial and lost sight of the hard work and partnership we once shared.
Girl when I find ya I'm gone stand right by ya girl You're my life and I can't live without you
When I finally find you, I'll be by your side for life. You are my everything and I can't imagine living without you.
