Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger
And food and love was all but left to hunger
'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty, hollow hunger
[Verse 2]
I think about you in the moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to lose
There's never any time for sleep
[Verse 3]
Look at me doin' all these things without you
We always laughed, and you were untrue
Where was it we tried hard not to go to?
I think that's how I finally came through
[Verse 4]
All the things we took for granted
The words still live on in my head
All the times I took for granted
All the words I never said
[Verse 5]
I think about you in the moonlit night
And the stars all seem to weep
When there's so much love to give
There's never any time for sleep
[Verse 6]
So, I stay true to things I knew when I was younger
When human life was all but left to hunger
'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older
Too much leaves an empty, hollow hunger
[Verse 7]
Too much leaves and empty, aching hunger
[Verse 8]
With or without you
Livin' without you
With or without you
Oh
