About This Track

'Live Without It' by Dylan is a 2022 Pop track from 'No Romeo - EP'. The lyrics speak from a position of refusal and withdrawal, rejecting the idea of needing someone, while also admitting that the other presence has become impossible to ignore. Lines return to the tension between wanting to be better off alone and being pulled into something intensely felt, with the narrator describing touch as awakening and the situation as both exhilarating and frightening. A phrase such as “Leaving me terrified” captures the clash between desire and dread that drives the song’s rush.

"Live Without It" is a track by Dylan, from the album No Romeo - EP, released 7th April 2022. The track is 3:17 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Dylan.

Lyrics

Live Without It

I don't want to need somebody
I don't want to need somebody like you
I don't want to grieve nobody
Better off with nothing to lose
And now you're all I see
With every touch you're bringing me to life
Leaving me terrified

Tell me if I'm dreaming
Finally found a feeling
Pull me in the deep end and out
'Cause you run this game

Oh, I don't wanna live without it
I don't wanna take the pain away
'Cause I know that I'm lost without it
Loving you is the best mistake I've made

I've never been one to panic
But I can feel you running through my veins
So I don't want to live, I don't want to live
I don't want to live without it

You've always been somеbody
You've always been the type to choosе
And I don't wanna crash your party
But all I want is to belong with you

You set my world on fire
Is hell and heaven
Right before my eyes
Leaving me terrified

And, oh, I don't wanna live without it
I don't wanna take the pain away
'Cause I know that I'm lost without it
Loving you is the best mistake I've made

I've never been one to panic
But I can feel you running through my veins
So I don't want to live, I don't want to live
I don't want to live without it

Tell me if I'm dreaming
Finally found a feeling
Pull me in the deep end and out
'Cause you run this game

Oh, I don't wanna live without it
I don't wanna take the pain away
'Cause I know that I'm lost without it
Loving you is the best mistake I've made

I've never been one to panic
But I can feel you running through my veins
So I don't want to live, I don't want to live
I don't want to live without it

Oh, I don't wanna live without it
I don't wanna take the pain away (take the pain away)
'Cause I know that I'm lost without it
Loving you is the best mistake I've made (the best mistake I've made)

I've never been one to panic
But I can feel you running through my veins (through my veins)
So I don't want to live, no, I don't want to live
I don't want to live without it

I don't wanna take the pain away
You're the best mistake I've made

Running through my veins
So I don't want to live, I don't want to live
I don't want to live without it
