WITHOUT MY WITHOUTS

WITHOUT MY WITHOUTS
Lyrics by Toni Burcher © 2006

Verse 1:
What was missing between us made me feel neglect and pain.
And I felt that I would never be able to regain the same.
Till I was in your shoes and my own choices made.
And I realised that never would I trade.
That which had not been provided to me.
As without my withouts… who would I be?

Pre Chorus 1:
What you did not do caused me so much pain.
That I promised it would never happen again.
So what you did not do is what I do now.
Still it’s dawned strangely, that someway, somehow.

CHORUS 1:
That without my withouts.
Without you showing me what I am not.
I would never have gotten as far as I have got.
As how could I know who I am or who I am not.
As without my withouts… I am not.

Verse 2:
What was not provided from you now enlightens my day.
And in an extraordinary way displays.
The darkest hours of life can light your future way.
And that lack is just gain with a different payday.
And that you know who you are by who you do not wish to be.
As without my withouts… who would I be?

Pre Chorus 2:
What you did not do caused me so much pain.
That I promised it would never happen again.
So what you did not do is what I do now.
Hold you close with such thanks. Tell you, you could never not make me proud.

CHORUS 2:
As without my withouts.
Without you showing me what I am not.
I would never have gotten as far as I have got.
As without my withouts how could I know who or what I am not?
As without my withouts… I am not.

My heart give thanks, for/giving all I'm not.
