If I Lost You
The Shiny Toy Guns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We stay up every night
We fade away
But now you're living in a dream
I'm torn apart from the one I love
Oh, my baby, where have you gone?
You know I'm sending angels to watch you sleep
'Cause I'm always on the run
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

I try to picture memories we made
On these cold and lonely nights,
Sometimes it's hard to see your face
Soon, my baby, when I return
I swear we'll make up every moment to erase the morning sun

And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you




I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you

Line by Line Meaning

We stay up every night
We spend hours awake every night


We fade away
We lose ourselves in the night


But now you're living in a dream
But now you've left me and are living a fantasy


I'm torn apart from the one I love
I'm devastated without the person I love


Oh, my baby, where have you gone?
Oh, my love, where did you disappear to?


You know I'm sending angels to watch you sleep
You know I'm still looking out for you even though you're gone


'Cause I'm always on the run
Because I'm constantly trying to escape reality


And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
I can't fathom what I would do if I lost you


And what in the world would I do without you?
I wouldn't know how to function without you


I try to picture memories we made
I try to remember the happy times we spent together


On these cold and lonely nights,
During these dark and isolated nights


Sometimes it's hard to see your face
Sometimes it's difficult to conjure up your image


Soon, my baby, when I return
Soon, my love, when I come back


I swear we'll make up every moment to erase the morning sun
We'll make up for lost time and forget the dawn that separated us


And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
I can't imagine dealing with the loss of losing you


I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I contemplate what actions I'd take if I lost you

"If I Lost You"

We stay up every night
We fade away
But now you're living in a dream
I'm torn apart from the one I love
Oh, my baby. Where have you gone?
You know I'm sending angels to watch you sleep
Cuz I'm always on the run

And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

I try to picture memories we made
On these cold and lonely nights,
Sometimes it's hard to see your face
Soon, my baby, when I return
I swear we'll make up every moment to erase the morning sun

And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
And what in the world would I do without you?

I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you

I dont know how STG doesn't have more followers, their music is amazing.

Rainlue

I adore this song so much, but I can barely listen to it because it was me and my ex’s song. I loved her more than anything in the world, so it’s still a sore wound, but it is slowly healing. This is truly such a magical song and I wish I could thank them for making it, because as painful as they are, I made such beautiful memories with this song.

STG should be bigger but their songs are too thought-provoking for most people. I'm glad they have a loyal fan base that keeps them performing.
