Cant Live Alone Lyrics

Now that you're gone why am I feeling so alone
Ringing your number but you're not picking up the phone
Gave you my heart and I gave my soul
I guess sometimes you gotta live and let go
I just wanna put things right, done with the lying
I'm begging on my knees
I wanna smile in your face, don't wanna see you cryin'
Cause you're the one for me
Don't think I'm letting go, I need a setting stone
I won't stop ringing until you're picking up your telephone
I know you're out there somewhere, I just wanna bring you home
P.
s: I love you, i'm out, I'm feeling so alone.I'm so alone, pick up the phone
I just wanna hear you say hello
Want you to stay, make things the same
I can't live my life alone, can't live my life alone
I just can't live my life alone, no no no no, can't live my life alone.
Struggling without here, can't you see
Looking at old pictures of you and me
I know you've heard it all before, but it's a new me
Tossing and turning all night getting no sleep
I wish I could turn back time, take it back to the way it was
With all the smiles and laughter
Back in my arms like the end to a fairtytale
Happily ever after
Don't think I'm letting go, I need a setting stone
I won't stop ringing until you're picking up your telephone
I know you're out there somewhere, I just wanna bring you home
P.
s: I love you, i'm out, I'm feeling so alone.I'm so alone, pick up your phone
I just wanna hear you say hello
Want you to stay, make things the same
I can't live my life alone, can't live my life alone
I just can't live my life alone, no no no no, but I can't live my life alone.
You walked out of my life, I'm looking up at the time
Twelve thirty didn't think I'd be writing these rhymes
I should have seen the signs
You said you put you beside, these lies, you know it's right
Got back from work, I don't know why I felt something was wrong
Got through the door, walked up the stairs and found that all her stuff was gone
You even left that ring I got you for your sixteen
You left without a reason, baby how could this be
Livin' alone, without you, it just don't feel like home.I'm so alone, pick up your
phone
I just wanna hear you say hello
Want you to stay, make things the same
I can't live my life alone, can't live my life alone
I just can't live my life alone, no no no no, but I can't live my life alone.
Can't live my life alone.

Bilal (born Bilal Sayeed Oliver on August 23, 1979, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is a soul musician and member of the musical collective known as Soulquarians. In 2001, his debut album — 1st Born Second — was released on the Interscope record label.

Bilal's classical training at the Mannes Music Conservatory in New York was instrumental to his conversance with Jazz, voice, and big band arrangements. It has also been reported that he is capable of performing opera in seven languages and writes both music and lyrics.

In 1995, Bilal encountered Faulu Mtume, and his brother, Damu Mtume (sons to James Mtume and founders of Moyo Entertainment) at a barber's shop in Philadelphia. His plans to produce film scores was shelved after he handed the brothers a demo recording; they were so impressed that they successfully convinced him to record commercially.

Bilal has also frequently collaborated and performed with several neo-soul and alternative hip hop artists, including Common, Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, and The Roots. He also covered Radiohead's "High & Dry" for the 2006 Radiohead tribute, Exit Music: Songs With Radio Heads. Bilal appears in Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

His sophomore full-length recording, Love for Sale is rumored to have been shelved after being leaked on the internet. Despite no official release as of yet, Love for Sale has become an underground classic.

In 2010, Bilal released his sophomore album, Airtight's Revenge, 9 years after his debut album. The album was well-received, critics praised his lyrical substance and experimental sound.

Bilal is set to release his 3rd album, A Love Surreal, on February 26, 2013. Bilal explains that the album has a warmer, more acoustic sound compared to his previous works. He released a mixtape leading up to the release in late 2012 called Retrospective of the Man Called Bilal. 6 days after the mixtape was released, he took the wraps off his first single for A Love Surreal, "Back To Love". A video was released the next month. So far, reviews for A Love Surreal are positive, praising Bilal's natural singing talent and lyrics. Read more on Last.fm.
