I was wondering about these lyrics, about how
grammatically corect they are: "wie soll ich leben ohne dich"
Should not leben be at the end, or is this fine?
I know it's just a song, so lyrics don't have to always be coorect,
but I thought I have seen sentences like this before.
Is there instances where the 2. verb in the sentnece does not
have to be moved to the end?
These lyrics come from
Mein Herz verliert by Echtzeit. Such a beautiful song, but sad.

In normal speech you're indeed more likely to encounter "Wie soll ich ohne dich leben?", but the object "ohne dich" can also be placed at the end for emphasis.
I.e. both are fine.
