Lyrics
LIVING WITHOUT
Words and Music by Jeff Jolly
Copyright 2000
He walked out - left her holding the bag
Said she was a nag
With her head in her hand
She broke down and cried, yeah, wondering why
(Chorus)
Now she’s living her nights at home
Living without
So much life and love tossed right out the window
Just a life full of drafts
She couldn’t help to think of all of the good times
She drifts off
Remembers so many laughs
(Bridge)
Stares alone out into space
Thinking someone has taken her place
Turns around to notice the light
She says - Well, I’m doin’ right
Oh yeah, well, I’m doin’ right
(Chorus)
She woke up as the cold water splashed on her face
She joined the human race
Made up to look real good like she should
She walks out - slams the door
Says, I’m out of this place
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
