Lost Myself in Search of You
Lost in Love's Echoes
Lyrics
I was holding you so tight and you were holding me
I had a close and secure connection with you, holding each other.
So wrapped up in the moment I was feeling such security
We were deeply engrossed in the moment, feeling a sense of safety.
And the first few weeks felt just like heaven,
The initial weeks of our relationship felt heavenly.
But I never really seemed to get that high
Despite the initial euphoria, I couldn't sustain that emotional high.
So now I sit here laughing at the time that past me by.
Reflecting on the past, I now find humor in the time that slipped away.
Its times, times like these, when I'm down on my knees begging
In challenging moments, I find myself pleading on my knees, asking you not to leave.
Please, oh please don't go, please don't go
Expressing a desperate plea for you not to leave.
As you slipped away I couldn't admit that we were
I couldn't accept the reality as you were leaving.
Through
Our relationship was ending.
And as you slipped away
Reiterating the departure.
I found I lost myself in search of you
In the process of losing you, I lost a sense of my identity.
I found I lost myself in search of you, search of you
Repeating the realization of losing oneself in the search for you.
I was holding you tight and you were holding him
I had you, but you were involved with someone else.
But now the only time I can hold you is in my mind
Now, the only way I can hold you is in my thoughts.
And that never seem to fill me up inside
Remembering you doesn't bring the fulfillment it once did.
Oh and yes I felt lonely and yes I felt a need
I felt lonely, and you emphasized my shortcomings.
And you seemed to feel it necessary to make me see
You tried to make me realize my mistakes.
That I was wrong and you were right
Admitting that you were right and I was wrong.
And that all my attempts were in vain
All my efforts seemed futile.
But I was pretty sure you'd turn around and want me back
Despite the breakup, I believed you would come back.
Again
Expressing hope for reconciliation.
And as you slipped away I couldn't admit that we were
I couldn't acknowledge that our relationship was ending.
Through
Reiterating the difficulty in accepting the breakup.
And as you slipped away I found I lost myself in search you
In the process of losing you, I lost a sense of my identity.
I found I lost myself in search you, search of you,
Repeating the realization of losing oneself in the search for you.
Always in search of you
Continuously searching for you.
I was holding you so tightly when you needed help
I supported you when you needed help.
I guess insecurities catch up to you when you're lying to
Insecurities become apparent when one is dishonest with oneself.
Yourself
Acknowledging the impact of insecurities.
But I never lie when I told you all that you could be
I truthfully conveyed your potential, but you didn't listen.
But it was no use, you never really ever listened to me
Despite my efforts, you didn't pay attention to my words.
I was holding you so tight but now I've let you go.
I let go of our tight connection.
