I Was Born Without You
A Life Unfolds: Embracing Love, Loss, and the Journey Within
Lyrics
If you're no one 'til someone loves you
If you only feel complete when someone loves you
Then you're two people maybe more
Suggesting a sense of fragmentation without love
'Cause it's not just how much I love you
Love is not just about quantity but the depth of admiration
It's how much of you I adore
Expressing profound admiration for the person
I came into this world without you
Describing the solo entry into life
I'm going out the way I came in
Symbolizing a solitary exit from life
And in this life if I can not have you
If unable to be with the loved one, a new journey begins
Let the roadrunner chase begin
Metaphorical reference to pursuing a relationship
I walked these streets before I even knew your name
Existence before knowing the loved one's identity
And since you've been with me they'll never look the same
Transformation of the world with the presence of the loved one
I was born without you I was born without you
Reiterating being born without the loved one
I was born without you why can't I live without you now?
Questioning the difficulty of living without the loved one now
It was the first day I can't remember
Uncertain about the memory of the first day or a significant event
Or the big day that I forgot
Possibly forgetting a crucial moment or celebration
Coming into this world of wonder
Describing the entrance into a fascinating world
All I know is it hurt a lot
Emphasizing the pain associated with birth
Now if that's what it takes to meet you
Willingness to endure pain for the sake of meeting the loved one
That's as much pain as I'll allow
Setting a limit on the acceptable level of pain
If I got through the worst without you
Reflecting on overcoming challenges in the past without the loved one
Why the hell can't I do it now?
Questioning the current struggle without the loved one
I walked these streets before I ever knew your name
Repetition of the impact of the loved one on perception
And since you've been with me they'll never look the same
Continued transformation of the world due to the loved one's presence
I was born without you I was born without you
Reiteration of being born without the loved one
I was born without you why can't I live without you now?
Pondering the difficulty of living without the loved one at present
