in guns and roses' since I don't have you lyrics:

" don't have plans and schemes

And I don't have hopes and dreams

I don't have anything

Since I don't have you

And I don't have fond desires

And I don't have happy hours

I don't have anything

Since I don't have you

Happiness and I guess

I never will again

When you walked out on me

In walked ol' misery

And she's been here since then

Yeah, we're ****!

I don't have love to share

And I don't have one who cares

I don't have anything

Since I don't have you"

is it:

  • "Happiness and I guess I never will again" the complete sentence? or is it:

  • " Since I don't have you Happiness and I guess I never will again"

if the latter is the correct options doen't it feels non-semantic the use of "and" in the sentence?

if the former is correct option doen't it feels like an incomplete sentence?

    These lyrics aren't standard English, so it's impossible to say with confidence what the intent is. I can guess that it means something like, "Since I don't have you, Happiness, and I guess I never will again", where Axl Rose is directly addressing the concept of happiness as if it's a person that he doesn't have, or as if he's talking to a real person, but calling them "Happiness" because that's what that person represents to him.

  • @gotube I had a similar thought regarding "Since I don't have you Happiness and I guess I never will again" but I still can't explain the conjunction "and" in that sentence

    The full sentence is, "[I don't have anything since I don't have you, Happiness], and [I guess I never will again]". Does that make more sense? The "and" joins two independent clauses together, which I have marked with [brackets].
