Who Am I Without You
Rediscovering Self Amidst Love's Absence
Lyrics
The old ways don't work no more
The old methods or ways are no longer effective.
And like my beat up car
Similar to my worn-out car, the old ways have limitations.
They can only take you so far
Existing methods can only take one so far.
I need a new lease
Desire for a new beginning or perspective.
Some kind of inner peace
Seeking internal calm or tranquility.
A way to save me from these rough seas and pretty pleases
Searching for a way to navigate challenges and avoid superficial requests.
All the while I can't forget just how good it feels
Reflecting on the pleasure of being loved.
When you're loving me
The joy experienced when receiving love.
All the while I can't forget just how good it hurts when
Contrasting the joy with the pain of letting go.
You just let go
The emotional difficulty of releasing someone.
Loving you is what I do
Expressing that love defines the speaker's actions.
The only thing I ever knew
Love is the primary aspect of the speaker's life.
If loving you is all I do
If the speaker's sole focus is love, seeking guidance.
Please talk me through
Requesting assistance in navigating a love-centered existence.
Loving you is all I do
Reiterating that love is the central theme in the speaker's life.
The only thing I ever knew
Love is the predominant and constant aspect of the speaker's experience.
If loving you is all I do
Emphasizing that love is the speaker's primary focus.
Please talk me through
Seeking guidance while navigating a love-centric life.
Don't really know what or how it happened
Uncertainty about the cause or nature of a significant change.
One day it just wasn't there like sound of one hand clapping
A sudden absence, likened to the silence of one hand clapping.
Maybe we just got lazy and it up and happened
Suggesting a possible cause of the change, perhaps negligence.
But who am I without you
Questioning one's identity without the presence of a significant other.
Who, what and what to do
Pondering existential questions about identity and purpose.
I can't wait for summers end
Anticipating the end of a challenging period.
For these blue skies to dim so I won't have to pretend
Eager for relief from emotional struggles.
All the while I can't forget just how good it feels
Reflecting on the pleasure derived from being loved.
When you're loving me
The positive feelings associated with receiving love.
All the while I can't forget just how good it hurts
Recalling the pain of letting go and its lingering effect.
When you just let go
The emotional difficulty of releasing someone and its lasting impact.
Loving you is what I do
Reiterating that love is the speaker's defining action.
The only thing I ever knew
Emphasizing that love is the singular focus in the speaker's life.
If loving you is all I do
If love is the only pursuit, seeking guidance in navigating it.
Please talk me through
Requesting assistance in managing a love-centered existence.
Loving you is all I do
Reiterating that love is the central theme in the speaker's life.
The only thing I ever knew
Love is the predominant and constant aspect of the speaker's experience.
If loving you is all I do
Emphasizing that love is the speaker's primary focus.
Please talk me through
Seeking guidance while navigating a love-centric life.
