Without You Lyrics
I'm on the ropes
Praying for something better
I'm sick of feeling alone
Brandish that scarlet letter
You thought you could fix me
But I wasn't broken at all
And I thought you would wise up
But I got sick of waiting for you
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
I'm catching glimpses of you
In every dream I'm having
And so I don't go to sleep
Unless I'm drunk
And it's becoming a habit
Praying for something better
I'm sick of feeling alone
Brandish that scarlet letter
You thought you could fix me
But I wasn't broken at all
And I thought you would wise up
But I got sick of waiting for you
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
I'm catching glimpses of you
In every dream I'm having
And so I don't go to sleep
Unless I'm drunk
And it's becoming a habit
You told me you'd hold me
Then locked me in the hall outside your room
I thought you were my one true love
But I was falling for you way too soon
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
We fall into the trap
That we set for ourselves
But we're blind to the truth
Acting like we never fell
Why do we never learn
That love can lead us astray?
We just chase what we want
While what we need fades away
Then locked me in the hall outside your room
I thought you were my one true love
But I was falling for you way too soon
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
We fall into the trap
That we set for ourselves
But we're blind to the truth
Acting like we never fell
Why do we never learn
That love can lead us astray?
We just chase what we want
While what we need fades away
I meant it when I said that you had my heart
But you went too far
We went too far
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And you left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
But you went too far
We went too far
Bet you expected I would be back by now
With open arms
Open arms
You cut me every time that you took me down
And you left me scarred
Left me scarred
I wish I had known
Right from the moment I met you
I'd feel more alone
With you
Than without you
