It's so hard to be without you
Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt
Everything you lose will always come find its way out
Every night is lonesome and is longer than before
Nothing really matters anymore
It's so hard to be without you
Lying in the bed, you are so much to be without
Rattles in my head that empty drum filled with doubt
Everything you lose will always come find its way out
Every night is lonesome and is longer than before
Nothing really matters anymore

: Surely with 'tu' as the subject of the first verb, it is then understood as the subject of 'être' too?

No...it's a song. The meaning is "you are too much for me (and inside me) and that's why I can't be totally myself without you (but said in a shorter and stranger way because it's a song !). In fact, there could be so many meanings !
