Live Here Without You Lyrics

Take my lips and sew them shut
Without words I'll dry up and blow away
She said that we were both so out of touch
And when we talked we'd say things
That don't mean anything
I hear your voice but you're so far away
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love's not easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until you'll be mine
I'll take in air and I'll fill up
Never breathing out I'll burst into flames
Without you I can never get enough
Of the thing that makes me feel like
Life's worth anything
I feel your touch at the thought of your name
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love's not easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until you'll be mine
I don't want for anything
Like a Jesus or a Superman
I don't want for anything
If you could be here with me again
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love ain't easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until
I can't kiss you anymore
I never felt alone like this before
Love ain't easy to ignore
I just can't live here anymore
Time is killing me and I'm killing
Nothing but time

Take my lips and sew them shut
Without words I'll dry up and blow away
She said that we were both so out of touch
And when we talked we'd say things
That don't mean anything 
I hear your voice but you're so far away
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love's not easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until you'll be mine
I'll take in air and I'll fill up
Never breathing out I'll burst into flames
Without you I can never get enough
Of the thing that makes me feel like
Life's worth anything
I feel your touch at the thought of your name
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love's not easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until you'll be mine

Like a Jesus or a Superman
I don't want for anything
If you could be here with me again
I can do without these things
But what I can't do
Is live here without you
Live here without you
Live here without you
I can't kiss you anymore
I can't miss you anymore
Love ain't easy to ignore
When your heart lies bleeding on the floor
I'll just sit and count the days
The days until
I can't kiss you anymore
I never felt alone like this before
Love ain't easy to ignore
I just can't live here anymore
Time is killing me and I'm killing
Nothing but time

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'll Third the motion set forth by Creeds and emo. Sponge is one of the most underrated bands to come out of the nineties. The album New Pop Sunday is one of my favorites, and this song is one of the great "pine away the days" until your love comes back to you: "Time is killing me and I'm killing nothing but time."
