How do we explain how it feels?


Recommended Posts

There is a song I heard a very long time ago and the lyrics jumped into my head.  I always liked the song, but thinking on them now takes on a new meaning.  It's called No One Is To Blame by Howard Jones.  I know it can't be explained to anyone who hasn't experienced this, but for me it does put into words how things change and empty life can feel the one we love is taken from us.

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat

You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin

And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame
You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it
You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win
Some break the rules, and let you cut the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost

You can see the summit but you can't reach it. 
It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit
Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain

This is by LeAnne Rimes.  Some people are talented than me at finding the words.

How do I 
Get through one night without you? 
If I had to live without you 
What kind of life would that be? 

Oh now 
I need you in my arms need you to hold 
You're my world my heart my soul 
If you ever leave 

Baby you would take away everything good in my life. 
Without you 
There'd be no sun in my sky 
There would be no love in my life 

There'd be no world left for me. 
And I 
Baby I don't know what I would do, 
I'd be lost if I lost you, 

If you ever leave, 
Baby you would take away everything real in my life, 
And tell me now, 
How do I live without you? 

I want to know, 
How do I breathe without you? 
If you ever go, 
How do I ever, ever survive? 

How do I, how do I, oh how do I live? 
If you ever leave, 
Baby you would take away everything, 
I need you with me, 

Baby 'cause you know that you're everything, 
Good in my life. 
And tell me now, 
How do I live without you, 

I want to know, 
How do I breathe without you? 
If you ever go, 
How do I ever, ever survive? 

How do I, how do I, oh how do I live? 
How do I live, without you baby
