I Don't Have Lyrics

I don't live anymore
I don't love me this way
I don't have wings to fly
I don't have, gone away
I don't have anything
I don't need a space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have, have a space to...

I don't claim to know just why
I don't try to pacify
I don't love me just yet
I don't care, gone away

This ones mine
This ones mine
This ones mine
All mine
Not this time I won't deny
This one's mine
All this time
Not this time I won't deny
All this time, Yes it's mine

I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need

I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have... I don't have...

This is about a guy in a manipulative relationship, who gives up his wants to appease his beloved. "I don't have the space to breathe" and the continuous I don't haves throughout the song symbolize him giving something up to appease his/her needs. This also has a double meaning, as him venting out what he doesn't have and hopes for help. This one's mine, shows that he doesn't want to leave him/her and still be in a relationship with her. Not this time I won't deny shows how he's scared to disagree with her. This is also a perfect ending to the album, since it kind of summarizes the theme of it. Every song on this album represents something they don't have, and this song sums it.

It sounds like he's ready to just give up after a bad breakup. "Gone away" "I don't have anything" suggests that he doesn't have anything to keep him going anymore. "I don't hide in sanctity" means that he won't hide in the church anymore. "I don't need the space to breathe" he's referring to the space that she used to take up in his life. I don't need the space to breathe. But then that would mean that he's learned not to need the space where she used to be. Maybe he's left emptyhanded but learning to cope with it.

Shame how Nickelback's older stuff has hardly any comments or anything. I love it. Love how imperfect and raw it sounds. Love them new stuff too but the old stuff is amazing.
