[Verse 1]

I could hardly believe it, when I heard the news today

I had to come and get it straight from you

They said you were leavin', someone's swept your heart away

From the look upon your face, I see it's true

[Pre-Chorus]

So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'

Oh, then tell me one thing more before I go

[Chorus]

Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been loving you so long?

How am I supposed to live without you?

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone?

[Verse 2]

I'm too proud for cryin', didn't come here to break down

It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end

And how can I blame you when I built my world around

The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends?

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming, oh

Even now, it's more than I can take

[Chorus]

Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been loving you so long?

How am I supposed to live without you?

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone?

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Now, I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming

Oh, now that your dream has come true

[Chorus]

Tell me, how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long?

How am I supposed to live without you?

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone?
