With Or Without You Lyrics

See the …………….  set in your eyes
see the …………….  twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of …………….  and twist of fate
On a bed of …………….  she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the …………….  we reach the shore
You give it all but I want …………….
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are …………….
My …………….  bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
