Without You by Dixie Chicks

What do you think?

‘Without You’ was written by Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks and songwriter Eric Silver. It is a ballad about lost love. The music video to this song (below) shows naked people (tastefully) against a white background to depict a serious tone of physical and emotional vulnerability. One of the actors in the video is a heavily pregnant lady. Shortly after the video was made she gave birth, but her baby only survived for 4 days. The Dixie Chicks were understandably devastated and offered to make a different video. The mother wanted this video released and that is why there is a dedication at the end for the baby boy.

Lyrics

I’ve sure enjoyed the rain, but I’m looking forward to the sun
You have to feel the pain when you lose the love you gave someone
I thought by now that time would take away these lonely tears
I hope you’re fine all alone, where do I go from here
‘Cause
Without you I’m not okay
And without you I’ve lost my way
My heart’s stuck in second place, ooh
Without you
Well, I never thought I’d be lying here without you by my side
It seems unreal to me that the life you promised was a lie
You made it look so easy making love into memories
I guess you got what you wanted, but what about me, ’cause
Without you I’m not okay
And without you I’ve lost my way
My heart’s stuck in second place, ooh
Without you
Somebody tell my head, to try to tell my heart
That I’m better off without you
‘Cause baby I can’t live
Without you I’m not okay
And without you I’ve lost my way
My heart’s stuck in second place, ooh
Without you, without you
