A song about surviving domestic violence. This song was inspired by my friend and fellow mp3.com artist Anna Fisher. Her song "Break The Silence---Stop The Violence", is so good that I wrote and told the President of the United States about it, as well as informing
the entire Catholic Church to listen to and tell others about her great record. You can find her in the "Links" section. Anyway, I
decided this was a topic that could stand to
have another song about it. Thank you Anna Fisher! xoxoxox God Bless, Much Love, ~Lesley |

Lyrics
Living Without You
Well, a long time ago I called you mine
A love so hard, so hard to find
And silly me, I didn't mind the black and blues
I was out on my own and there you were
To tell me just what I deserved
Why I ever listened, I'm still working out
But I did, and so you, left me wondering without a clue
I was at a loss when I first saw you
But now that you're gone
Oh, oh, oh,
I'm doing fine living without you
So long...
I'm all mine
Living without you
Every one of my friends
They warned me twice
They said he isn't very nice
I'd sit there wearing a bag of ice because of you
It just can't be!
And then they'd say
You know you'd better get away
He lives to control you
Snaps his fingers one, two, three
And still I kept it to myself
I'd still deny I was in a living hell
'Cause he's sorry and so loving afterwards
But now you're gone
Oh, oh, oh,
And I'm doing fine living without you
So long...
I'm all mine
Living without you
Finally off of my behind
Living without you
You know, all the things you said
All the things you did
They had a way of painting me red-red-red-red
Nearly dead
And so I'm telling you
And don't forget
They feed you well when you're their pet
I lost some of my mind, but most regrets,
I lost them too
And I think as I look out my window
Now I know what my friends were talking about
You don't have to let him bully you!
And now I work
I pay my rent
I worked out right in my basement
The court said it was self-defense and now I am free
I was done
I tried to split
But he was having none of it
He nearly broke my neck
Now, what would you do?
So now you're gone
Oh, oh, oh,
And I'm doing fine living without you
So long...
I'm all mine
Living without you
Man, it was close
But I survived
Living without you
I'm living
Living without you
I'm living
Living without you
I'm living
