Lyrics
See the stone set in your eyes
Am I such a thorn in your side?
Should I wait for you?

A sleight of hand and a twist of fate
On a bed of nails, you makes me wait
Without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm greedy for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you

And you give yourself away
You give yourself away
You give, you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body's bruised
You've got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose

You give yourself away
You give yourself away
You give, you give
You give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
With or without you
