I'm Nothing Without You

You were the reason for my smile
But it's been vacant for a while
You are the reason why I’m here
I’m nothing without you

You are the reason for my song
The tears I’m crying all night long
Where did you and I go wrong
I’m nothing without you

No one here to see me cry
When you tell me one more lie
No one here to watch me die
I’m nothing without you

My colourless existence 
Fades to blue
Every dream that I dreamed 
Slowly slips out of view

Every night feels so empty,
Every day feels so long
Since the moment you left me
All the light is gone

If love was our forever
Tell me what I should do
Cause I’m lost in this life
I’m nothing without you

Remember what we used to be
Now your shadow lives inside of me
You never hear me when I plea
I'm nothing without you 

Now I’m lonely, sad and free
Fading in your memory
Your arms are where I need to be
I’m nothing without you

No more sunshine; only rain
No more laughter; only pain
Forever lonely I’ll remain
I’m nothing without you

I know my broken heart won't mend
I know I’ve lost my love, my friend
I know my life has reached its end
I’m nothing without you...
