Take me back to the days
When we were young
When time wasn't a thing
And we were falling in love
Now we're oceans away
Guess you moved on from the plans that we made
And I got to pretend
That I'm doing okay
I can't go on without you
I don't feel strong without you
The night is long
We need to carry on
I can't go on without you
If I get through the day
I'll drink until I'm numb
Then my head's in a mess
When the morning comes
Now I'm in bed alone
Looking at pictures of us on the phone
So much love in our eyes
So little we'd known
I can't go on without you
I don't feel strong without you
The night is long
We need to carry on
I can't go on without you
Take me back to when I took your hand
Underneath the California sun
We both said that this would last forever
But the ending had already won
You're never ever gonna hear this song
So I can just say the words
I need you, I need you, I need you
I can't go on without you
I don't feel strong without you
The night is long
We need to carry on
I can't go on without you
