Different Without You

Story Behind The Song

Fighting the reality of the most painful breakup you've ever gone through. True story of losing my true love.

Song Description

I'd met someone and fallen in love, believing it to be the perfect relationship for me. We spent three years together, then she decided it wasn't going in the direction she wanted. So, she broke up with me. It was something almost impossible for me to accept for a long time, until finally I had to face reality. I would never be the same after that. It truly was "different without her."

Lyrics

It's different without you, my darling one.
It's different without you, not as much fun.
And I don't know why
You told me goodbye
When our love was so strong.
I'm scratching my head
At things that you said.
Your conclusion seems wrong.

It's different without you, my lady fair.
It changes the whole view, now that you're not there.
We shared oh so much;
This chapter is such
A twist in the tale.
Was I that naïve
To truly believe
That our love could prevail
Through the times, you had your doubts...

Do you know how much it hurts to let you go?
(There's a new dream, there's a new dream...)
Sometimes hearts like ours need time to ebb and flow
(There's a new dream, there's a new dream...)
I need you here. Can't you come back, dear? Right now.

(Short instrumental with wordless vocals)

It's different without you, my special girl.
It's empty and so blue in my world.
Oh where should I turn
When my heart still burns
For the magic we had?
It's too hard to see
Why you chose to be free
And this turned out so sad.
All I really had was you.

I don't know where my life will go from here.
(There's a new dream, there's a new dream...)
It's not easy watching hope just disappear.
(There's a new dream, there's a new dream...)
Oh my love. My only love.
It's different without you.
