Without You Lyrics

Lyric discussion by loganmeisch 

Cover art for Without You lyrics by Avicii

You said that we would always be Without you I feel lost at sea Through the darkness you'd hide with me Like the wind we'd be wild and free

this verse means that he was with a girl that said she would always be their but it turns out she did not mean it

[Bridge]

You said you'd follow me anywhere But your eyes tell me you won't be there

this means he already knew she was lying

[Chorus] I gotta learn how to love without you I gotta carry my cross without you Stuck in the middle and I'm just about to Figure it out without you And I'm done sittin' home without you Fuck, I'm goin' out without you I'm going to tear this city down without you I'm going Bonnie and Clyde without you

now this is where he basically says fine i don't you to love and im gonna carry my cross without you is a big part because in the bible it says " simon of Cyrene, who was recruited by the soldiers from the crowd to carry or help carry the cross. Modern scholars, following descriptions of criminals carrying crossbars by Plautus and Plutarch, often take the Gospel description as meaning Jesus, then Simon, carried only a heavy patibulum, the crossbar, to a pole, stipes, which was permanently driven into the ground at Golgotha.[2] However, in Christian imagery Jesus, and Simon, carry the complete cross—both patibulum and stipes." so basically he says i can do the hardest things without you.

[Verse 2] Now I'm running away, my dear From myself and the truth I fear My heart is beatin' I can't see clear How I'm wishing that you were here.

so now he cant take being away from her and all he thinks about is her , then before its says Now I'm running away, my dear From myself and the truth I fear he is trying to forget that its his fault shes not there and he is trying to hide the truth.

[Bridge]You said you'd follow me anywhere But your eyes tell me you won't be there

[Chorus] I gotta learn how to love without you I gotta carry my cross without you Stuck in the middle and I'm just about to Figure it out without you And I'm done sittin' home without you Fuck, I'm goin' out without you I'm going to tear this city down without you I'm going Bonnie and Clyde without you

now hes stuck trying to find away to move on and live with out her
