I could hardly believe it When I heard the news today I had to come and get it straight from you They said you were leaving Someone swept your heart away From the look upon your face, I see it's true So tell me all about it Tell me about the plans you're makin' Then tell me one thing more before I go
Chorus: Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I've been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin' Didn't come here to breakdown It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end And how can I blame you When I built my world around The hope that one day We'd be so much more than friends And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming I need you now, it's more than I can take
Chorus
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin' Now that your dream has come true
Chorus
Without you After I've been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been livin' for is gone
