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
