lyrics

Lost (by J Carden)

I was lost
Said she was going home
I was blown away
Left me on my own
I just could not see
She was gonna take my home

Well she told me that she loved me
Promised me the world
Then she stopped doing things
That a man expects from a girl
I just could not see
She was gonna take my world

I was lost
Sleeping all day long
Staying up all night
Confusing right and wrong
I learnt to play the blues
And I wrote down this song

I was lost
But then along came you
You picked me right up, baby
When I was black and blue
And now the hurt it feels good
You got me singing the blues

No longer lost
I got a woman of my own
She knows just when to come
And when to leave me alone
And when I need good loving
All I gotta do is phone
