It appears this song is about heartbreak. The woman has found another man and is deciding to leave Michael. He’s put so much time and trust into this girl, and now that she’s leaving him, he feels ruined and does not know how he’s going to survive without her.
[Verse 1]
I could hardly believe it, when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin', someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Oh, then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
[Verse 2]
I'm too proud for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming, oh
Even now, it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now, I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Oh, now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]
Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
