Lost Love

Story Behind The Song

I knew two young lovers who seemed perfect for each other. After a couple of years together one of them announced without any prior warning that the relationship was over. I spoke to the one who had been abandoned. This person was devastated, crushed and in a state of total shock. It was just so horribly painful to witness. I came home and wrote this song as a sort of aknowledgement of their agony. I know the story is hardly unique, but when rejection happens it feels like you're the only one in the world going through it and it's a universally awful experience.

Lyrics

LOST LOVE


I?ve feel this trembling inside
Don?t think that I can hide it
Just hear the words that you said
Going ?round and around and around my head

Sit down and tremble with weakness
A thousand words but I?m speechless
They echo in this empty place
With a thousand pictures of your face

If only I could kiss you and hold you
Do you have to be so distant and cold to me?
Can?t believe that you are really
Leaving me

What am I supposed to do here living without you?
Nothing but the ghost of you I think I?m about to
Lose my mind this time
I feel I?m dying, dying

I?m trying but I can?t stop crying
I can?t stop crying

And my love I?m lost in here
And I fear I?m falling
And my love why don?t you
Hear me, hear me, hear me calling?

Through the long night so far away
I?m gonna get down on my knees and pray
To the heavens and the stars above
I lost my love, I lost my love,

I wanna hold you again
I want call out your name
My soul, my heart
You?ve taken everything and torn it all apart

My love, my love, my love, my love, (I lost my love)
My love, my love, my love, my love, (I lost my love)
My love, my love, my love, my love, (I lost my love)
My soul, my heart
You?ve taken everything and torn it all apart
