Lost Without You
Vanbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I had it all well
I though you wait around the corner and baby,
I thought I had it all under control
I'm gonna think for the last time, baby
I build and break things, I pray
You've been a stranger
And I will hide away the things that hurt
I close my eyes and maybe wounds will heal
Cause I never lose (I'm lost without you)
And who would I be
If you weren't next to me?
What I said, what I did
Never meant to hurt you
You've been a stranger
And I will hide away the things that hurt
I close my eyes and maybe wounds will heal
Cause I never lose (I'm lost without you)
And who would I be
If you weren't next to me?
You've been a stranger
And I will hide away the things that hurt
I close my eyes and maybe wounds will heal
Cause I never lose (I'm lost without you)
And who would I be
If you weren't next to me?
