This song was written by Diane Warren for the soundtrack of 1997’s blockbuster Nicholas Cage film “Con Air”. By Rimes account, Warren had promised the song to her and wrote it for her. Apparently, though, Walt Disney Pictures told Touchstone Pictures, producers of the film, that Rimes was too young...
[Verse 1]
How do I get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul and if you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now
[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
[Verse 2]
Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I, baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you, if you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now
[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
[Bridge]
Please, tell me, baby
How do I go on if you ever leave?
Baby, you would take away everything, I need you with me
Baby, don't you know that you're everything good in my life?
And tell me now
[Chorus]
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live?

LeAnn Rimes on Diane Warren writing the song:
Diane really hit the co-dependency nerve of our society with ‘How Do I Live’ – it’s played at weddings, funerals and just about every pivotal life-altering moment. There’s magic to great songwriters, their heartfelt lyrics and the right voice that soulf...
After LeAnn won the best new artist Grammy [in 1996], I ran into her at a restaurant. She was the young hot artist at the time. She was just a great singer, even at that age. I told her I wrote this song for Con Air – though I didn’t mention that there were 200 songs in contention – and literally th...
I remember getting in a lot of trouble because there were two versions of it. I wrote the song for the movie Con Air. Well, what happened was, so I wrote it. And I wrote for the movie, and I played it for [producer] Jerry Bruckheimer. And he liked it. But there were I think, 200 other songs in the [...
