I used to hear the voices through the thin walls Tension building up and I'd feel so small Some nights I'd hide under the pillows 'cause I didn't know what else to do Started singing just to get some attention A melody to cut through the addiction And every song I made turned into wishes Some of them came true
Everyone rises everyone falls Everyone spends some nights alone Rich or for poor I'm always yours You never left me on my own
Tell me who who would I be without you No matter how much we lose Every time I bet my life on you
We were never rich not even thousands Mom was on her knees cleaning houses I used to go to work with her some days And dream and dance in the big hallways
Everyone's scared everyone's scarred Everyone spends some nights alone
But every high every low You never left me on my own
Tell me who who would I be without you No matter how much we lose Every time I bet my life on you
Tell me who would I be without you Nothing I'd rather do Every night I bet my life on you Who would I be without you
Went on the road to make my daddy proud But I lost him and then I sang to the crowd My only hope is that he's looking down thinking 'Oh my God my daughter's doing it now'
Tell me who who would I be without you No matter how much we lose Every time I bet my life on you
Tell me who would I be without you Nothing I'd rather do Every night I bet my life on you Who would I be without you
