If It Wasn't For You

Poco · Legacy [1989]

It's hard to see myself out there alone

People starin' 'cause I got no home

Nowhere to lay my head, so I just walk on

Searchin' for somethin', daylight 'til dawn



When I had taken about all I could take

Oh no, where's my life goin'

Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make

Your love was tender but strong

You were there all along



If it wasn't for you, there'd be no one to make me try

If it wasn't for you, I'd just stand here and cry

If it wasn't for you, who would care if I lived or died

If it wasn't for you, now I know I'll get through



I don't know how it got to be this way

The hope of life just seemed to slip away

Can I find the strength to face another day

I can't pretend now, want it to end now



When I had taken about all I could take

Oh no, where's my life goin'

Livin' blindly to the difference you'd make

Your love was tender but strong, you were there all along



If it wasn't for you, there'd be no one to make me try

If it wasn't for you, I'd just stand here and cry

If it wasn't for you, who would care if I lived or died

If it wasn't for you, now I know I'll get through



If it wasn't for you, who could I turn to

If it wasn't for you

If it wasn't for you, I'd feel my heart break in two

If it wasn't for you, yeah, what would I do
