I Lost You
The Wldlfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made a habit ignoring the phone
I'm surrounded by all of these people
But still I feel like I am all alone
I've tried to make amends
In finally forgiving myself
I thought the heartache and my sorrow
But why can't I be happy?
Why're you still living inside of my mind?
I guess that I am just full of it
When I say that I'm doing just fine
Am I doing just fine?
Alright
Alright
Still lonely and confused
I thought by now I would have found myself
But I guess I lost me too
I lost you (I lost me too) X8
I haven't been too kind to my body
I've made a habit ignoring the phone
I'm surrounded by all of these people
But still I feel like I am all alone
I've tried to make amends
In finally forgiving myself
I thought the heartache and my sorrow
Were buried on the shelf
But why can't I be happy?
Why're you still living inside of my mind?
I guess that I am just full of it
When I say that I'm doing just fine
Am I doing just fine?
Alright
Alright
Still lonely and confused
I thought by now I would have found myself
But I guess I lost me too
The Wldlfe's song "I Lost You" is a melancholic song about self-doubt, loneliness and failed attempts at moving on. The singer acknowledges the mistakes he has made with his body and mind and how he has isolated himself from others, despite being in their presence.

The repetition of the chorus line "I lost you (I lost me too)" captures the essence of the song, which is about the singer losing not just the person he loved, but also a part of himself.
The song conveys a strong message about the importance of taking care of oneself and being kind to oneself. It speaks to the struggle of many people who have lost someone they loved and are trying to make sense of it all. The lyrics also touch upon mental health, highlighting the effects of unresolved emotional issues on one's well-being.
