Make no mistake I don’t want to live without you.
Make no mistake it’d be hard to live without you.
Sun rises in the east, sets in the west.
Sun high in the sky, the moon at its rest.
Stars show how long we’ve been on this earth.
Look around and tell me what’s it’s worth
without you, without you, without you.
Make no mistake I don’t want to live without you.
Make no mistake it’d be hard to live without you.
Mountains so large and events make us feel small.
Feeling low you don’t know who to call.
Ocean’s rising and sky’s about to fall.
Look around it’s so hard to feel tall,
without you, without you, without you.
I saw my reflection in the mirror this morning.
I saw my life as I lay in bed last night.
I saw the face of one who’s grown older.
I saw my life held out to the light.
Make no mistake I don’t want to live without you.
Make no mistake it’d be hard to live without you.
Every morning I wake to these blues.
Every morning I wake up to the news.
Pull some clothes on, put on some old shoes.
Walk downstairs, I’m still paying these dues,
without you, without you, without you.
Make no mistake I don’t want to live without you.
Make no mistake it’d be hard to live without you.
Make no mistake I don’t want to live without you.
Make no mistake it’d be hard to live without you.
