About

A slow-burning country-noir ballad about a man who lost himself by loving too hard and fearing too much β€” and in the end, the very thing he was scared of losing became the thing his own fear destroyed. One voice, one guitar, no way back.

Lyrics

VERSE 1

I don't know where I went and lost myself

Don't know when the road ran out

If it was something I saw

Something I heard

Something I swallowed whole

If I was reaching too hard

Believing my own lies

If I wanted to get lost

That bad

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

All I know is I'm gone

And I don't know the way back home

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

VERSE 2

I don't know where I went and lost you

If it was me or if it was you

If somebody broke a promise

Or if we just let it slip

Don't know if anyone did wrong

Or if we just stopped paying attention

"And watched our chances quietly skip."

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

All I know is you're gone

And I can't find you nowhere

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BRIDGE

I don't know who I am no more

Don't know where I'm at

Just driving nowhere in the dark

Like eating candy that don't taste like nothing

Wanting to feel something

When nothing makes sense no more

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHORUS

How do you make sense of what happened?

How does a person lose this much?

Don't know if it was love

Or the hole it left behind

I just wanted you too much

Till the whole world disappeared

I was so scared of losing you

I went and lost myself instead

And in losing myself

I lost everything I had

Everything of you in me

And that right there

Is when I lost you

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CODA

And right there...

When I finally lost you...

That's when I was gone for goodon learned
