What a life, to live alone
What is left when love has flown
What a life, trying to live without you
All the love that used to be
Sings a minor melody
What a life, trying to live without you
All the funny little things
We used to say and do
They weren't meant for one
They were meant for two
Just the same, the world goes on
I must live and know you're gone
What a life, trying to live without you
All the funny little things
We used to say and do
They weren't meant for one
They were meant for two
Just the same, the world goes on
I must live and know you're gone
What a life, trying to live without you
Without you, without you
I can't live without you
