The sun shone lightly thru my window this morning
To bad you weren't here to help me get by
Ever since you've left my heart has been in mourning
I lost your love but I still don't know why
I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry
Why did you leave me can you can give me a reason
Was it for the love of another man
My eyes are weary from the crying hours
Like the tears that left me I have no where to run
I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry
[Solo]
I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry
