Lost Soul

Sun, 04/14/2024 - 20:27 -- Andreee

My whole life I was looking,

Looking for the right person

Guess I was a hopeless romantic

Ooh but I found love

In a hopeless place

 

I found change in a hopeless place

I found love in a hopeless place

I found crisis in a hopeless place

I found enemies in a hopeless place

 

I never felt true love until I found you

Until I “lost my religion”

That I never really had

I just knew there was a god

 

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

 

Oh I never found true love

I was never the kind of girl

Who would say how I felt

I forced real emotion down to the bottom

 

I’m learning how to feel again

Did my soul leave me years ago?

Is that why I’m so broken?

But this change in my life is what I needed

To begin to feel again

 

Oh I’m broken inside

I’m crying inside

Wrapped in plastic 

With fake stupid smiles

After people told me to smile more

 

Now I feel again now I stand up for myself

And my

My love

My soul 

My life

 

Ooh I’m broken inside

Why could no one see 

That I was faking it all

 

I cried myself to sleep so many times

I can’t cry right anymore

I know it sounds stupid but

My eyes get watery

But no tears fall

 

I cried rivers 

But now there’s a drought

 

My whole life I was looking, 

Looking for the right person

Guess I was a hopeless romantic

Ooh but I found love

In a hopeless place

 

I found change in a hopeless place

I found love in a hopeless place

I found crisis in a hopeless place

I found enemies in a hopeless place

 

I found you in a hopeless place
