ILLENIUM

Lost

From Awake2017

Written by Emilie Brandt, ILLENIUM, Matthew Wirnsberger

Lyrics

Lost

[Verse 1]

It's back to the basics without you now

I'm trying not to fall under

You told me I should take a look around

Lost it all and it's no wonder how it came to be

I'm stepping out the door of you and me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better

[Chorus]

It's time for me to breathe

I'm gasping for the air you stole from me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better lost

[Drop]

Lost, I'm better lost

Lost, I'm better lost

[Verse 2]

Been down on defeat

Rose from beneath

To find my escape

I'll run from the lies you tried to hide

I'll vanish without a trace

[Chorus]

It's time for me to breathe

I'm gasping for the air you stole from me

I'm crossing out the eyes and what they've seen

I'm better off, I'm better off, I'm better lost

[Bridge]

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

I'll never need you to see through

Yeah, I'm better lost

[Drop]

[Outro]

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

Now I'm without you, without you now

Now I'm without you, without you now

I'm better lost

I'll never need you

I'm better lost
