To Be Without You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so hard to be without you
Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt
Everything you lose, the wisdom will find its way out
Every night is lonesome and is longer than before
Nothing really matters anymore

[Verse 2]
It's so hard to be without you
Used to feel so angry, and now I only feel humble
Stinging from the storm inside my ribs where it thunders
Nothing left to say or really even wonder
We are like a book and every page is so torn
Nothing really matters anymore

[Verse 3]
It's so hard not to call you
Thunders in my bones out in the streets where I first saw you
When everything was new and colorful, it's gotten darker
Every day's a lesson, things were brighter before
Nothing really matters anymore

[Verse 4]
It's so hard to be without you
Everyday I find another little thread of silver
Waiting for me when I wake some place on the pillow
And then I see the empty space beside me and remember
I feel empty, I feel tired, I feel worn
Nothing really matters anymore

Cover art for To Be Without You lyrics by Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams wrote this in the wake of his divorce to Mandy Moore I read in an article. It breaks my heart. In the song he said he laments his loneliness without her. He was quoted as saying “ broke my soul in a zillion pieces to write this song, but I would’ve died inside if I hadn’t”. And also “ I would give anything to take it all back and hold her again, I will never be the same my soul is shattered”. That’s why my parents always tell me never give up on your marriage especially if you have a family they taught me well, because it’s never worth it in the end to let go, never. It makes me hurt for the people who have. ????????
