With or Without You - Stripped

It's been eleven years
Yet it feels so rough
I was only eight and I felt so lost
And it hurts to tell you how it's affected me now

It feels like yesterday I came down those stairs
Greeted by my uncle and then I was told you
Told that you were gone and
My life turned upside down

You know I couldn't sleep
You know I couldn't be without you
You know I had to learn
How to go my days without you
Though it's been eleven years
I don't think I'll ever get over this one no
Cause you were simply the best
And not like the rest, you know
With or Without You

Dad, I guess I'll see you in another life
I know that we would talk about mum for a while you know
Maybe about how well
She raised us on her own

And I know that you'd be proud of her
And I hope she's proud of me
And I hope she's proud of what we've turned out to be
Brothers and sisters yeah, sing this one with me

You know I couldn't sleep
You know I couldn't be without you
You know I had to learn
How to go my days without you
Though it's been eleven years
I don't think I'll ever get over this one no
Cause you were simply the best
And not like the rest, you know
With or without you

With or without you, mmm

Though the years fly by
I wanted to say hi
And I want you to know
That you're on my mind, yeah

You know I couldn't sleep
You know I couldn't be without you, no
You know I had to learn
How to go my days without you
Though it's been eleven years
I don't think I'll ever get over this one no
Cause you were simply the best
And not like the rest, you know
With or without you

With or without you, mmmm
