I Hate the Way (You Live Without Me) Lyrics

Nothing's safe
Nothing's everlasting
Nothing's safe until you die
Heaven waits
All the angels clapping
Watch the sparrow hit the sky

Chorus:
I hate the way you live without me (4x)

Nothing's wrong
I'm not sentimental
For the first time in my life
Something's gone
Something so essential
Something keeping me alive

Chorus

I wish I could hide you
In a place
Where no one could find you

Please

It's not too late
Nothing's ever over
No one's ever satisfied
But I will wait
Up for you forever
I will savor every night

Chorus

Live without me (3x)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I haven't heard this song since '98... it's as beautiful as I remember it.
