Lifelost

(album: Between You & Me - 2019)

Don't colour me a traitor, I've got nothing to gain
So call it true, I think I knew you didn't feel the same
So mark the page and shut the chapter, put it back on the shelf
We always knew what this was, we can't keep fooling ourselves
Fuck

We can't keep fooling ourselves
We can't keep fooling ourselves

And I, I'm breathing on my own
Still wishing that I'd known
I'd still care without you there
And I, I'm chasing down the ghost
Of what I needed most
I still care without you here (Without you here)

My heart is falling but my head is still up in the clouds
Forever stuck with the question, will I make you proud?
The devil lives in the detail, too real, too profound
Give me a chance to say I'm sorry I let you down
Blegh

I can't keep fooling myself
(Wishing I'm somebody else)
Your thoughts for nobody else
The dream forsaken

And I, I'm breathing on my own
Still wishing that I'd known
I'd still care without you there
And I, I'm chasing down the ghost
Of what I needed most
I still care without you here (Without you here)

Hold me under till the end and pray to God that I've drowned
'Cause I can't face the thought of moving on without you around
There's no sacrifice without a cost
Another life lost
Hold me under till the end and pray to God that I've drowned
Can't face the thought moving on without you around
There's no sacrifice without a cost
Another life lost

And I, I'm breathing on my own
Still wishing that I'd known
I'd still care without you there
And I, I'm chasing down the ghost
Of what I needed most
I still care without you here (Without you here)
