I Love You But I’m Lost Lyrics

You read the answers by the shadows on the wall
We could be great
Drive myself crazy with mistakes
You know I'm better every day
Tell me there's something I can change
Recall I know what a sanctuary is
Help me deserve you sing me praise
You love me, but you'll change

Disappointed in a lover because they're the only way
To know somebody in and out, after a while it's a real challenge
Come in here and be yourself again
I love you, but I'm not somebody who takes shots
See me after I recoil
I'm better than I know
There is room to grow

Tear stains on the last page
Better leave 'em
Time will tell and I'll be back
Tear stains, I believe it
I'm in Houston, I can't read my lines
Most of all I find it strange
I believed them

Turn me into something great, you know that that's the only way
Promises that we forgot
I suppose that we were lost
It's turning into something we can change
I love you, but I'm lost
Between the pain and cost
I hold myself a lot

I love you, but I'm lost
I love you, but I'm lost
I love you, but I'm lost
I love you, but I'm lost

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
