Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
[Verse 2]
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
[Verse 3]
With or without you
With or without you
[Verse 4]
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all, but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
[Verse 5]
With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live with or without you
[Verse 6]
Larry Mullen Jr.
[Verse 7]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
[Verse 8]
My hands are tired, my body bruised
She got me, oh, yea
With nothing to win
And nothing to left to lose
[Verse 9]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away
[Verse 10]
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 12]
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
With or without you
[Verse 13]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 14]
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you
With or without you
