Without You
Moving On: A Journey Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
Without You
Expressing a state of being without the person in question.
I’ve been thinking ‘bout doing something crazy
Contemplating unconventional actions to distract from thoughts of the person.
Just to get my mind off you
Seeking ways to divert attention from the lingering thoughts of the individual.
Pack my things up and move maybe get a tattoo
Considering a major life change, like moving or getting a tattoo.
I think I’m gonna get a few
Expressing intent to make significant personal choices.
And I can’t stop looking at my phone screen
Obsessively checking the phone, anticipating communication.
Waiting for it to ring, it’s making me insane
Waiting for a call, experiencing heightened emotional distress.
What do I do when my friends ask me where you’ve been?
Dealing with inquiries from friends about the person's whereabouts.
Or I call another woman by your name?
Wondering if calling someone else by the person's name is a subconscious act.
Feels like the floor beneath my feet
Describing an emotional collapse, feeling a sudden loss of support.
Was pulled out from right under me
Metaphorically expressing a sudden, drastic change in life.
No I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t breathe
Listing physical and emotional symptoms of distress.
Ever since you decided to leave
Attributing emotional and physical struggles to the person's departure.
Well I’m tryna move on without you, oh, oh
Expressing a conscious effort to move forward despite difficulties.
And I’m tryna get along without you, oh
Attempting to cope and adapt to life without the person.
And I’m losing my mind without you, oh, oh
Acknowledging the mental toll of separation.
It’s gonna take me time without you, without you, without you
Highlighting the prolonged process of healing after the departure.
I’ve been thinking ‘bout doing something crazy
Reiterating contemplation of unconventional actions.
Cause now I got nothing to lose
Expressing a sense of having nothing to lose after the separation.
Everybody telling me to get over you
Receiving advice to move on but resisting the suggestion.
And keep moving but I refuse
Refusing to accept external pressure to move on quickly.
Feels like the floor beneath my feet
Reiterating the feeling of a sudden loss of support.
Was pulled out from right under me
Repeating the emotional and physical struggles post-separation.
No I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t breathe
Reiterating the impact on daily functioning due to distress.
Ever since you decided to leave
Connecting ongoing struggles to the person's decision to leave.
Well I’m tryna move on without you, oh, oh
Continuing the effort to move on despite challenges.
And I’m tryna get along without you, oh
Persisting in the attempt to adapt to life without the person.
And I’m losing my mind without you, oh, oh
Reiterating the mental toll of the separation.
It’s gonna take me time without you, without you, without you
Emphasizing the prolonged healing process.
I’ve been counting down the days till a new love, new love, new love
Anticipating the arrival of a new romantic interest.
Been tossing and turn I can’t sleep, just come right back now to me
Experiencing sleeplessness and longing for the person to return.
I’ve been counting down the days till I get some, till I get some, till I get some
Counting down to the expectation of finding a new romantic connection.
Gotta stop the begging oh please, gotta get up off of my knees
Resolving to stop pleading for the person to come back.
Well I’m tryna move on without you, oh, oh
Repeating the struggle to move on despite challenges.
And I’m tryna get along without you, oh
Persisting in the attempt to adapt to life without the person.
And I’m losing my mind without you, oh, oh
Reiterating the mental toll of the separation.
It’s gonna take me time without you, without you, without you, oh!
Reemphasizing the prolonged healing process and the emotional struggle.
