Without You

I'm supposed to be a singer
But I can't even talk
I should act like a performer
But I can't play the part without you
I can't do a thing without you

I would like to be a lover
But I don't have the heart
Or a true believer
But I'm lost in the dark without you
I'm all alone without you

But if there's nothing I can do
You know that I'd still want to do it with you
And if you couldn't hear a sound
You know that I'd still be here hanging around
Wondering what I can still do
To get close to you

I would love to be a winner
But the race will not start
I feel tired and I feel tethered
I'm a prisoner of want for you
You're all I need to get through

I would like to learn the lesson
But it keeps getting harder
I'm afraid of being foolish
But I've made it this far just for you
I'm all alone without you

And I feel no triumph when I've won
Nor any tragedy when things go wrong
I'd be in limbo I'd be a joke
Flailing around without purpose or hope
Wondering what I can still do
To get close to you

So I'll feel no triumph when I've won
Nor any tragedy when things go wrong
I'd be in limbo I'd be a joke
Flailing around without purpose or hope
Wondering what I can still do
Racking my brains and I'm going insane
Trying to use ways that I haven't before
To get close to you
