Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The coffee's cold, the light is fading gray
I'm counting up the hours since you walked away
I'm rearranging furniture, I'm changing up my clothes
Trying to find a different version of the way this goes
But every shadow in the hall still wears your name
And every mirror that I look in doesn't look the same.
(Chorus)
'Cause I can't go on living without your loving
I need you here, right here, right next to me
I'm going through all the changes, turning pages
But my heart, it just won't set you free
No, I can't go on living without your loving
You're too much a part, too much a part of me.
(Verse 2)
I tried to pick a hobby, I tried to pick a fight
With the silence in the kitchen in the middle of the night
They say that time's a healer, that the seasons have to turn
But I'm just staring at the bridge that you helped me burn
I'm shedding skin, I'm miles from who I was before
But I'm still waiting for your shadow at the door.
(Bridge)
It's in the marrow of my bones, it's in the rhythm of my breath
It's a stubborn kind of wanting that scares me half to death
I've walked through every fire, I've weathered every storm
But I'm still shivering, waiting for you to keep me warm.
(Chorus)
'Cause I can't go on living without your loving
I need you here, right here, right next to me
I'm going through all the changes, turning pages
But my heart, it just won't set you free
No, I can't go on living without your loving
You're too much a part, too much a part of me. You're the pulse beneath the skin
You're the place where I begin
2:57
I can't let go, I can't let go
You're too much a part of me...
I need you here.
Just come back here.
