You, you, you, you, you [Repeat: x 2]

You is still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You
You leave me when I'm at my worst
A feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you

Without you
You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You leave me when I'm at my worst
A feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you

Without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you

Without you
Without you
Without you
Days go by
Days go by-why-why
Days go by-why-why
Days go by
Days go by-why-why
Days go by-why-why
