about

“Without You” has yearning lyrics and a blues-feel produced and written by Kingsley.

“Without You was written on a fluke, as I don’t usually write love songs. Since I don’t believe in love but this isn’t your typical love song. Writing a song about relying on someone and needing them wholehearted (in a romantic way) was an amazing unfamiliar emotion I had to drive out of myself. It was a really fun and creative process producing this song: having the verse in a minor key as you reflect on a time with your love and then jumping to the chorus in a happy major key but with haunting lyrics - this conflict in the song goes back and forth, verse to chorus. And then, BAM, the bridge is full on emotions and demanding answers, to outtro a final plea. This song is truly an emotional rollercoaster ride. “

lyrics

Back to the day when, you gave in and told me I deserve someone better than you baby. They day when, you caved in broke my heart in two and took the other half with you.

I'll never get use to, being witout you.

Back to the times when, I fell all in, gave you all that I could give. To the times when you and me, felt like we were eternity.

I'll never get use to, being without you.

How am I suppose to go on?
How am I suppose to stay strong?
How am I suppose to be, when you're not with me?

I'll never get use to, being without you.
