About This Track

‘Without You’ by Busted is a 2002 Rock song from the album ‘Busted’. The lyrics are a frustrated, tearful plea framed around dependence and suffocation, moving from admiration of a partner’s simple talk to the feeling that there is “nothing left to say” once they are gone. There is a sense of being trapped inside your own feelings, with the repeated emphasis on not being able to breathe, not being able to break free, and not being able to carry on without them.

"Without You" is a track by Busted, from the album Busted, released 29th September 2002. The track is 4:07 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Busted.

Lyrics

Without You

The way you always made me look at you
With all the simple things you said
The way so many things surrounded you
And all the tears it seemed to make

And now I'm falling
There's nothing left to say
And I can't break free
Out from in, me there

I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
Without you, without you, without you

The way I thought I'd never leave this place
The way you made it seem so real (the way you made it seem so real)
'Cause you had faith and you had empathy
And all I needed was this

And now I'm falling
I've got nothing left to say
And I can't break free
Out from in, me there

'Cause I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
Without you, without you, without you

How can I let you leave this way?
Without you, I'm not at all
And I see things now in those memories
Just to see you again

    They were the biggest pop stars in their class, then overnight they were no more. But why, after reforming for a brand new album, do Busted sound like a whole different band?
