Analysis of WITH YOU
WITH YOU,
I had a fighting chance.
WITHOUT YOU,
I have to pay in advance.
WITH YOU,
I found a reason to believe.
WITHOUT YOU,
I'm absent without leave.
WITH YOU,
I lived in the sun.
WITHOUT YOU,
Nothing is fun.
WITH YOU,
I could see a light.
WITHOUT YOU,
I have stage fright.
WITH YOU,
I felt the riches.
WITHOUT YOU,
I wear big girl britches.
WITH YOU,
The water was warm.
WITHOUT YOU,
I'm preparing for the storm.
WITH YOU,
I believe in tomorrow.
WITHOUT YOU,
I know pain and sorrow.
WITH YOU,
Everything was easy.
WITHOUT YOU,
Nothing can please me.
WITH YOU,
I believed in fate.
WITHOUT YOU,
I can only hate.
WITH YOU,
I believed in God.
WITHOUT YOU,
I face the firing squad.
WITH YOU,
I felt alive.
WITHOUT YOU,
It's crash and dive.
WITH YOU,
I could see.
WITHOUT YOU,
There is no me.
