You Without Me Brandi Carlile

Was your smile always crooked?
Was the freedom ever free?
Do you kick the rocks between your feet
After all this time with me?
♪
You can listen to your own records now
Decide what you believe
You can pray on stars and skip the gods
Like stones across the sea
♪
But I would know you anywhere
I lost myself in you
Heavy are the hands that you are
Free to slip right through
Do what you have to do
♪
There you are
My morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
There you are
It's just you
Without me
♪
I'm late to another game
I guess I never learned the rules
I showed up with a broken name
And handed it to you
♪
I'm not sure if you could fix it now
But if you wanted to
I would follow you around
And carry all your tools
♪
I would know you anywhere
I found myself in you
Heavy are the hands that hold the
Changes you'll go through
Do what you have to do
♪
There you are
My morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
There you are
It's just you
Without me
♪
As predictable as time and age
But comforting in some strange way
Time makes every one of us an absolute cliché
But when I met you face-to-face
None of it was true
So who am I if I'm not you?
♪
There you are
My morning star
I wondered when you'd show
Give me just a quick thumbs-up
A wink before you go
I never heard that voice before today
I remind myself to breathe
I'm ever just a thought away
If ever you need me
You're gonna live a lot of life
You're gonna see a lot of years
God willing
Just you
Without me
♪
There you are
Just you
Without me
Without me
Without me
