"Why Without You" lyrics

"Why Without You"

Why am I doin' here?
Why are you here too?
And what would life mean without you?
And why are you so beautiful?
Why do the stars shine bright?
And it ain't even night
And what does a girl like you see in me?
And why are you so pretty?
Why?
Why?
Why did you do what you did?
Why you had a man
Now you have a kid?
And why do I ask such silly questions?
Why don't I kill myself
Why don't I kill myself
The time has come and I've learned all about you
Now that I'm alone I live without you
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
But I guess you had your way you got him, you're his wife
So goodbye!
I could have settled down and lived forever with you
Shared the same bed and have a dozen kids with you
With a swing in the backyard with plastic ducks
With a porch in the front yard with a mailbox with our name on it
But without you I can't have any of these things
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
But now I have to say I did want you for my wife
Why can't I see the end
All I see is the beginning
Saying over and over in my mind
You once seemed like a possibility
Why do dreams like that die?
Why do I ask you why?
Black are the skies that once were blue
Why do I grieve over you?
