With Or Without You

Pre-chorus: Do you hear me, calling your name from the other side of the road?
Did you know that you are the best, compared to the rest?
I've been left in the cold on my own...
I feel like I'm far away from the warm city, in the forest all alone
Hello, hello - can you hear me screaming out?
I just need someone to lean on without a doubt 
Tell me something I don't know
You tell the same stories...it's like watching a familiar show 

Chorus: Tell me that there's some hope to reap 
Tell me which road to choose or I'll fall into a hole of confusion, oh so deep 
Tell me, tell me something
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
I don't know anything about what's on your mind 
I don't know where I am...I feel as if I am blind 
Goodbye, goodbye - can you hear my heart being fast?
I'm trying to look forward to a future that's coming so fast
Forgiving and forgetting the past
Is harder than I thought...
I wish this moment between us won't last
I give it all I got before I give up and rot 
Waiting for you to tell me, tell me
Tell me something I don't know...
Tell me, tell me if I'm worthy of your happiness 
Going through rough times and I'm in a state of mournful gladness

Verse 4: It's obvious that we're so distant 
It just happened in a flick of an instant
Tell me something I don't know...
Tell me if you'll reap what you sow
Tell me if I'm like the sun, shining aglow
Tell me if there's something I need to know
Is there something wrong with me? 
Why do I feel so low?
Why am I depressed when I should be happy?
Should I stay or should I go? 
I guess I need to let go...let go...
Cut off the weeds of woe...of woe...
There's a place where you and I should be -
A place where we will be one with our ecstasy

Pre-chorus: Do you hear me, calling your name from the other side of the road?
Did you know that you are the best, compared to the rest?
I've been left in the cold on my own...
I feel like I'm far away from the warm city, in the forest all alone
Hello, hello - can you hear me screaming out?
I just need someone to lean on without a doubt 
Tell me something I don't know
You tell the same stories...it's like watching a familiar show 

Chorus: Tell me that there's some hope to reap 
Tell me which road to choose or I'll fall into a hole of confusion, oh so deep 
Tell me, tell me something
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
I don't know anything about what's on your mind 
I don't know where I am...I feel as if I am blind 
Goodbye, goodbye - can you hear my heart being fast?
I'm trying to look forward to a future that's coming so fast
Forgiving and forgetting the past
Is harder than I thought...
I wish this moment between us won't last
I give it all I got before I give up and rot 
Waiting for you to tell me, tell me
Tell me something I don't know...
Tell me, tell me if I'm worthy of your happiness 
Going through rough times and I'm in a state of mournful gladness

Verse 5: Why won't you tell me the truth? 
Are you scared of how I'd react?
Sticks and stones have broke my bones,
But I'll remain standing...
Do you hear my muffled moans?
You need to be understanding, not so demanding 
And tell me, tell me 
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me, come over here and tell me 
Tell me if you love me from head to toe 
You don't have to be next to me...I see
That this love between us doesn't matter anymore
You can depart from me...I'll be ok with me 
Just leave me be in my solitary room of gloom, fighting this depression war
With or without you
With or without you 

Pre-chorus: Do you hear me, calling your name from the other side of the road?
Did you know that you are the best, compared to the rest?
I've been left in the cold on my own...
I feel like I'm far away from the warm city, in the forest all alone
Hello, hello - can you hear me screaming out?
I just need someone to lean on without a doubt 
Tell me something I don't know
You tell the same stories...it's like watching a familiar show 

Chorus: Tell me that there's some hope to reap 
Tell me which road to choose or I'll fall into a hole of confusion, oh so deep 
Tell me, tell me something
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
I don't know anything about what's on your mind 
I don't know where I am...I feel as if I am blind 
Goodbye, goodbye - can you hear my heart being fast?
I'm trying to look forward to a future that's coming so fast
Forgiving and forgetting the past
Is harder than I thought...
I wish this moment between us won't last
I give it all I got before I give up and rot 
Waiting for you to tell me, tell me
Tell me something I don't know...
Tell me, tell me if I'm worthy of your happiness 
Going through rough times and I'm in a state of mournful gladness

Verse 6: Tell me something I need to know,
Not something I already know, you know...
Can you show me where the blessed breeze blow?
I need to know if you still think of me and if you still love me so...
I've tried to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made
I've tried to mend your broken heart, but I'm a gray and blue shade
Tell me something new that brings your passionate soul to life
Tell me something that will encourage me to end strife 
It's typical of me to be so selfish and rude
I keep reminding myself to have the attitude of gratitude
It's no secret that I have failed to reach the finish line
You can see right through me when I lie to you and say that I'm fine
