The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

I can't let you stay

Ooh but I can't live if you go away

I don't know just how it goes

All I know is I can't live with you

Yeah I'm having a hard time

I'm walking a fine line between hope and despair

You may think that I don't care

But I travelled a long road to get hold of my sorrow

I tried to catch a dream

But nothing's what it seems

Love is saying baby it's all right

When deep inside you're really petrified

Lover turns to hater

On this escalator

I can't live with you - yeah

But I can't live without you

I can't breathe if you stay

But I can't bear you to go away

I don't know what time it is

All I know is I can't live with you

We're stuck in a bad place

We're trapped in a rat race

And we can't escape

Maybe there's been some mistake

We're trying to make a high score

We're walking through a closed door

And nobody's winning

We're just sinning against ourselves

Hold on baby tell me it's all right

Anger's breaking from the hurt inside

Passions screaming hotter

Doin' what we gotta do - yeah

I can't live with you I can't live with you

I can't live I can't live

I can't I can't live with you

But baby I'll never ever leave you

I can't live with you

But I can't live without you

Cause I'm in love with you

Ooh and everything about you

I can't live with you

No I just can't live I just can't live

I can't live with you

Yeah and I can't live without you

Through the madness through the tears

We've still got each other

For a million years - yeah

Ooh yeah

Yeah - I can't live without you - yeah yeah

I can't live without you

Yeah yeah oh oh oh

I can't live without you

I can't live without you

I can't live without you

Oh oh I can't live without you baby baby baby

Without you

I can't live without you
