Lost Without You
Craven Beverly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thinking of myself
were filled with days of emptiness
and room for no one else
I found a haven in isolation
with nothing to lose
safe and lonely thinking of only
what I had to prove
I was lost without you
like being frozen in time
disillusioned with life
until I knew
I found myself in you
I remember being afraid
of my destiny
fear of change or losing my way
and my identity
then something bigger just took over
and it happened so fast
lying here, my head on your shoulder
reliving the past
I was lost without you
I was lost without you
like being frozen in time
disillusioned with life
until I knew
I found myself in you
I found myself in you
And all the love I needed to give
finally found a home
you've given me a reason to live
can't go back
don't let go
I was lost without you
lost without you
like being frozen in time
going out of my mind
until I knew
I was lost without you
lost without you
like being frozen in time
disillusioned with life
until I knew
I found myself in you
I found myself in you
The lyrics to Craven Beverly's song Lost Without You express the feelings of someone who has lived a lonely and self-centered life. The songwriter states that this life was filled with emptiness and there was no room for anyone else. However, despite finding a sense of security in isolation, the singer was lost without the person they were addressing in the song. The love and companionship that they provide have filled the void in their life, and the singer now finds their identity and purpose through the love of the other person.
The second verse of the song describes the fear of change and losing one's identity that the singer experienced before finding the other person. However, something more significant then took over, and they found themselves head over heels in love. The singer lies with their head on the other person's shoulder while reliving past memories. This moment of vulnerability and closeness represents a significant shift from the former state of emptiness and loneliness.
Overall, the song Lost Without You is about the transformative power of love, recognizing the emptiness of a self-centered existence, and the importance of loving relationships. This song speaks to anyone who has ever experienced loneliness, emptiness or questioned their identity, and the lover who has filled that void.
