With or Without You (Nortel edition)

See the red ink on the sheet
See the debts owed to the Street
I wait for you

Sleight of hand was a mistake
Costs incurred that were supposed to wait
And I wait without you

I’m living without you
Nortel is now through

Through the storm we tried to believe
We gave it all but now we cede
And I’m waiting for you

The Nortel that I knew
Nortel that I knew
I can’t live with or without you

And you gave yourself away
For whatever they could pay
And you gave, and you gave
And you gave yourself away

My pension’s gone, my spirit bruised
She’s left me with
Nothing to win and nothing left to lose

And you gave yourself away
For whatever they could pay
On auction day, when they came
Just to take your parts away

The Nortel that I knew
Nortel that I knew
I can’t live
With or without you

The Nortel that I knew
Nortel is now through
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
