Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin', someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
[Verse 2]
So, tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Oh, tell me one thing more, before I go
[Verse 3]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long?
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone?
[Verse 4]
I'm too proud for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine that's comin' to an end
And how can I blame you, when I built my world around
The hope that one day, we'd be so much more than friends
[Verse 5]
I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin', oh
Even now, it's more than I can take
[Verse 6]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long?
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone?
[Verse 7]
No, I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Oh, now that your dream has come true
[Verse 8]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long?
How am I supposed to live without you?
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone?
