[Verse 1:]
I was a fool for taking it out on you
There's nothing I wouldn't do to make it up to you
One conversation baby that's all I ask
We can work this thing out it really ain't all that bad
See I was wrong for what I did all those nasty things I said
I was trying to pay you back for making me so mad
So if my soul my heart I beat
Will you help me on my feet
And I promise you I'll never fall again
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna be without you
I got nothing to give without you
Cause I don't wanna breathe without you
I don't wanna love without you
I think I'm giving up without you
I know I can't go another day... without you
[Verse 2:]
I stay locked in my room I don't go out no more
I keep hoping it's you that's knocking on my door
I'm not sleeping too well I've not had a meal in days
See baby I need your help what is it gonna take
I would give my soul my breath if you just meet me at end
So that I can tell you all the things you need to hear
And I swear to tell the truth cause I never lie to you
Let's get back to making love like lovers do
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna be without you
I got nothing to give without you
Cause I don't wanna breathe without you
I don't wanna cry without you
I think I'm gonna die without you
I know I can't go another day... without you
[Hook:]
Loneliness is what I'll forever breathe
Only If U decide to rescue me
Show me the way to get back to your heart
And I'll travel down that road no matter how far
Where ever you are
[Chorus: x2]
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna be without you
I got nothing to give without you
Cause I don't wanna breathe without you
I don't wanna love without you
I think I'm giving up without you
I know I can't go another day... without you
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna be without you
I got nothing to give without you
Cause I don't wanna breathe without you
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live without you
