lyrics

So Lost without You

You were here for the best days of my life
Now you’re gone, I don’t know what to say
I lift my eyes, I just see darkness all around
The world was brighter in the days we stood
Together

Fear shouts – but love whispers and is heard
Fear doubts – but love whispers and I’m reassured
Fear’s proud

I’m so lost without you…

I use your spirit as a lantern, your memory lights my way
Lift my eyes to what’s around me, get me through from day to day
Chasing dreams is easy when you’re the dream I’m chasing
I think of you as if we’re still
Together
Together

Fear shouts
Fear doubts
Fear’s proud
Fear…

Fear shouts – but love whispers and is heard
Fear doubts – but love whispers and I’m reassured
Fear’s proud

I’m so lost without you
But I keep you in my heart
Can’t hold you in my arms
So I hold you in my heart
