Some songs just get you. They reach deep inside and pull out emotions you didn’t even realize were sitting there, waiting to be felt. The One I Can’t Live Without is one of those songs—it’s raw, honest, and filled with the kind of longing that lingers long after the last note fades.
At its core, this song isn’t just about love; it’s about need—that deep, undeniable connection to someone who feels like the very air you breathe. Whether it’s a partner, a family member, or even a lost love, the lyrics tap into that universal ache of knowing that without them, life just wouldn’t be the same. It’s the kind of song that makes you close your eyes and think of your person, the one who holds your heart in a way no one else ever could.
With a melody that feels both tender and powerful, The One I Can’t Live Without strikes that perfect balance between vulnerability and strength. It’s the song you play when you’re missing someone, when you’re holding them close, or when you’re just caught up in the beauty of how love can completely change everything.
It’s more than just a love song—it’s a lifeline.

Lyrics
You say I shouldn’t be here it’s the same thing every night
You say I should go home to her what we’re doing just ain’t right
It’s true she’s there waitin’ and wonderin’ there’s no doubt
But she’s the one you live with and you’re the one I can’t live without
She’s the one you live with but you’re the one I can’t live without
And she’s the one you dream with but you’re the one I dream about
They say I’m breaking up your home it’s not a home it’s just a house
She’s still the one you live with but you’re the one I can’t live without
If I knew you only lived there and your love for me was true
But how can I be certain you’re not makin’ me a fool
Surely you must kissin’ who keep proof from findin’ out
But she’s the one you live with but you’re the one I can’t live without
She’s the one you live with but you’re the one I can’t live without
And she’s the one you dream with but you’re the one I dream about
They say I’m breaking up your home it’s not a home it’s just a house
She’s still the one you live with but you’re the one I can’t live without
