Love Lost
Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While you were sleep i'd stare, stare while you lay in my arms
And now I'm stuck on stupid Rain Forrest couldn't get wetter than you get, (no)
I used to beat it up you gave me your love I abused it now I'm facing the music
Oh how I yearn for your touch (I'm) so lonely now that you left me
If I could run away you know I would
And I'm hurtin' cause girl I never loved you like I should
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost
I was trippin' wouldn't listen now I'm sitting sipping shots at the bar
Now I'm riding to the 90's hits listening to Aerosmith
I don't wanna close my eyes don't wanna fall asleep
Tell me how I can I be fly without the wind beneath my wings
Oh how I yearn for your touch I'm so lonely now that you left me
If I could run away you know I would
And I'm hurtin' cause girl I never loved you like I should
When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost
And now I see
The man you need
When I look into the mirror I see change
And I close my eyes and wish you could see the same
But it's too late
When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do
When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost
Lost gone out the window
When love is lost
Lost can't see your love no more
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do you do when love is lost

Reminiscing I remember me and you we used to play with the dogs
Thinking back, I recall how we used to spend time together playing with our pets
While you were sleep i'd stare, stare while you lay in my arms
I would often stay awake just to watch you sleep and hold you close
And now I'm stuck on stupid Rain Forrest couldn't get wetter than you get, (no)
I'm currently feeling really foolish for not appreciating your love, I now realize just how much I lost
I used to beat it up you gave me your love I abused it now I'm facing the music
I took your love for granted and now I'm paying the price for my mistake
Oh how I yearn for your touch (I'm) so lonely now that you left me
I miss the feeling of being close to you, and now that you're gone, loneliness has set in
If I could run away you know I would
I wish I could escape the pain and regret, but I'm stuck having to face it
And I'm hurtin' cause girl I never loved you like I should
I realize now that I didn't love you as much as I should have, and it's causing me a great deal of pain
When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost
Losing someone you love can completely turn your world upside down, especially when they don't need you in return
I was trippin' wouldn't listen now I'm sitting sipping shots at the bar
I was being foolish and ignored your love, and now I'm stuck drinking to cope with the pain
Now I'm riding to the 90's hits listening to Aerosmith
I don't wanna close my eyes don't wanna fall asleep
I'm trying to distract myself by listening to music, but the pain of missing you is still there
Tell me how I can I be fly without the wind beneath my wings
I feel lost and unable to function without your love and support
And now I see
The man you need
When I look into the mirror I see change
And I close my eyes and wish you could see the same
But it's too late
I realize now that I need to change and become the person you deserve, but sadly it's too late and you're already gone
Lost gone out the window
When love is lost
Lost can't see your love no more
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do you do when love is lost
When love is lost, everything seems to fall apart and you can't even see the love that was once there
