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 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 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 so 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 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 Who
