Lost

(Verse 1)
They talk about hope like it’s somewhere close
Like it’s hiding in shadows I’m supposed to know
But I searched every corner inside my chest
And all I found was an empty mess

They say “hold on,” yeah I tried that too
Till my hands went numb from the things I held onto
Every promise faded, every word went cold
Now I’m stuck with silence and a story untold

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)
If hope is real, why can’t I feel it?
If it’s alive, why can’t I see it?
Maybe it’s just something they say
To keep you breathing one more day

⸻

(Hook)
No light in sight, no voice, no sign
Just me and the dark in my own mind
They swear there’s more, but I don’t know
All I’ve ever seen is letting go

If hope exists, it skipped my door
A ghost I’ve never met before
I’m still here, but barely afloat
Tryna believe in a word called “hope”

⸻

(Verse 2)
I watched it leave in the things I lost
In every line that I couldn’t cross
In every night I stayed awake
Wonderin’ how much more I could take

They paint it bright like a golden thread
But mine unraveled instead
Now every step just feels the same
Different day, just a different pain

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)
They say it’s there, I just can’t find it
Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m blinded
Or maybe it was never mine
Just a lie dressed up to shine

⸻

(Hook)
No light in sight, no voice, no sign
Just me and the dark in my own mind
They swear there’s more, but I don’t know
All I’ve ever seen is letting go

If hope exists, it skipped my door
A ghost I’ve never met before
I’m still here, but barely afloat
Tryna believe in a word called “hope”

⸻

(Bridge)
And if tomorrow comes again
I’ll wake up tired, I’ll just pretend
Like maybe something’s gonna change
Even if it feels the same

Not ‘cause I believe it’s true
Just ‘cause I don’t know what else to do

⸻

(Outro)
So I’ll keep breathing, I guess I will
Even if everything stays still
Call it survival, call it a lie
Call it whatever gets me by

They say there’s hope… I just don’t know
But I ain’t gone yet… so maybe that’s close
