A Little Less Lost (day 155)

Some lovers’ hearts break

some bend, some bruise

But we’ve still got

nothing left to lose

and I don’t have the words

in this heart to tell you

that here I feel a little less lost in this place

 

The whole world is watching

this endless give and take

Pass up empty promises

and linger for heaven’s sake

I never dream about you

except when I’m awake

and here I feel a little less lost in this place

 

I can’t stand straight, bodies

made of ashes blow away

I tried to warn you

these humans can’t stay

and if I had no heart

that stays beating I could say

love, here I feel a little less lost in this place

 

Lullabies, a fireside can’t

keep me here for long

But moments that don’t matter

string me so far along

I’ve got a wish that someday

I might whisper you this song

that here I feel a little less lost in this place

 

Some lovers’ hearts break

some bend, some bruise

But we’ve still got

nothing left to lose

and I don’t have the words

in this heart to tell you

that here I feel a little less lost in this place
