Lost
Skin (Deborah Anne Dyer) Lyrics

What was I waiting for
I was waiting for something to change, for a sign that things could be different.

Waiting for the bubble to burst
I was waiting for the moment when everything would come crashing down and the truth would finally be revealed.

Over your stagnant pauses
I was waiting for you to take some kind of action or show some kind of emotion, instead of being stuck in the same place.

Can't cure what your devil don't see
You can't fix something that the person responsible for it doesn't even recognize as a problem.

Or light a fire below the death of me
There's nothing you can do to revive my passion or my sense of purpose in this relationship.

We've shot through all over our causes
We've exhausted all of the reasons we had to stay together and can no longer justify it.

Days spin through my heart
I can feel the passage of time and how it's affected my feelings for you.

That sever the love
The passing days have caused us to become more distant and have broken down the love we once shared.

Kill all the pain with shame
I'm trying to cope with the pain of letting you go by feeling guilty about the way things turned out.

I won't be lost without you
I can find my way forward without you despite feeling lost before.

I've found a way to get through
I've discovered my own means of coping and am no longer relying on you.

Now I'm up and running
I'm moving on with my life and finding renewed energy and vitality.

Strong enough to walk away
I'm finally feeling strong enough to leave and start anew.

And leave you all alone
I'm ready to move on without you, no matter how alone I may feel at times.

What were you waiting for
What were you expecting to happen that would make things better between us?

Waiting for the straw to break
Were you waiting for some kind of major event or emotional turning point to happen?

Over the back of desperate ways
Were you willing to resort to desperate measures to try and save our relationship?

You were a dream to me
You once represented all my hopes and aspirations, my ideal partner.

Now you're nothing but a heart that bleeds
Now you're someone who is causing me pain and heartache, someone who is bleeding me dry emotionally.

I'll wash you off and carry on
I'll cleanse myself of all the pain and negative feelings associated with you and move forward with my life.

And when I see you
When I encounter you again, it reminds me of all the reasons why we had to part ways.

I find another reason
It reinforces my belief that I've made the right decision in leaving, and gives me additional motivation to keep moving forward.

To keep myself from getting lost in you
I'm determined not to let my feelings for you take over my life, to keep from getting lost in the past.
