It's hard to see myself out there alone
People starin' 'cause I got no home
Nowhere to lay my head, so I just walk on
Searchin' for somethin', daylight 'til dawn
When I had taken about all I could take
Oh no, where's my life goin'
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
Your love was tender but strong
You were there all along
Chorus:
If it wasn't for you - there'd be no one to make me try
If it wasn't for you - I'd just stand here and cry
If it wasn't for you - who would care if I lived or died
If it wasn't for you, now I know I'll get through
I don't know how it got to be this way
The hope of life just seemed to slip away
Can I find the strength to face another day
I can't pretend now, want it to end now
When I had taken about all I could take
Oh no, where's my life goin'
Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make
Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along
(chorus)
(Solo)
If it wasn't for you - who could I turn to
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you - I'd feel my heart break in two
If it wasn't for you - yeah, what would I do
