Without the One You Love

(listen)

You can change your lock you can change your key
You can tell everybody that you feel so free
but life ain't worth living without the one you love

You can dream all day or you can drown all night
You can do your best to burn out your light
but life ain't worth living without the one you love

I've seen it happen before
when you can't find the forest for the ocean floor
When your words never tell what your heart can't hide well
What you know for sure locked behind closed doors

You can say your prayers you can say you're fine
but nothing you do can ease your mind
life ain't worth living without the one you love

You can cure your blues with a shot of pain
You can leave your life on the tracks of a train
but life ain't worth living without the one you love

You can be a man you can be a mouse
You can shout her name through your empty house
but life ain't worth living without the one you love
