During a conversation at Breadstix between Kurt, Finn and Rachel discussing their futures after graduation, Rachel sings the song to Finn because he is confused and frustrated about his future. The scene then cuts to the choir room where Rachel sings it in Glee Club, it also cuts to a part when Rachel is singing directly to Finn alone. At the end of the performance, they both share a passionate kiss in front of the Glee Club and some New Directions members give off awkward and disgusted faces.
Lyrics[]
Rachel:
I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I
Without you, without you
Ooh
You, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you
I can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you
I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you, without you
Ooh
You, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
Without you
