Losing Yourself
losing yourself can be hard,
you do things you not proud of,
just to try and find the person you've lost,
nobody understands what you are going through,
you stay to yourself because people only critize,
what you do wrong,
and what you could be doing,
just to leave you more lost,
than you start to come to reality,
that they don't know you,
like you know yourself,
because all through this,
you've found yourself,
and because of the challenges you've faced,
that have only made you that much stronger,
than you've ever thought possible.

Lost To Find My Lot
Lost in a world, that scares me to death,
Lost in a crowd I’m losing my breath,
Lost as a kid, lost as an adult
I feel everything is falling apart and its my fault
Lost as a person, cant find my way
Lost in life every day, Lost in worry
Who am I?
I’ve lived a Lie
Lost to Kindness,
Lost to Love
Lost in the sky,
Like a lonely dove
Lost in thought which I shouldn’t do
It Winds me up,
I can’t get through
Lost to comfort all kind words
Lost to advice that isn’t heard
Lost to those who really care?
All these people always there
Lost in Me, I need a break
Lost in wonder which road should I take?
Lost in a place I don’t know well
Where are you now? There’s no one to tell
Lost here all alone To break these walls
Lost in mind
Lost in soul
Lost memories, there just a hole
Lost family, lost my place
Still yet I’m full of hate
Lost in boredom think I’ll leave
There’s a lot in life I need to achieve

Lost & Found
I always used to be afraid
That I was going to lose my way
I never used to walk in line but stray
I never thought I'd see it through
That I could deal with losing you
But suddenly I see the light of day
Leading me in
From out of the night
Staying on course - I'm still alive
I had to confess I never thought I would ever survive
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found
Focused on my altered state
I would just disorientate
Suffering alone amongst the crowd
Drifting on a sea of doubt
And no one ever heard me shout
That I was lost and couldn't find my way
No one at hand
Having no plan
Stumbled through a barren land
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found
I was lost and found
I had hit the ground
I was lost but now I found
That I don't need no one
To survive
You've got to believe alone
You'll rise
Starting to run
Shedding the load
Now I can see I'm close to home
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found

Lost Without You
I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just want to find a way to compromise
Cos I believe that we can work things out
I thought I had all the answers
Never giving in
But baby since you've gone
I admit that I was wrong
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ended with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
but all I know is
Im lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
Lost without you
Am I ever gonna get rid of these blues?
Baby i'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Oh my beds so cold at night
I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right
No I'm not too proud to say
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How Am I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ended it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you
If I could only hold you now
Make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
oh
All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How my I gonna be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
and we ened it with goodbye
Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
Lost without your love
I keep trying to find my way
And all I know is
I'm lost without you
i'm Lost without you

I’m So Lost
I’m so lost
I’m barely alive
I wouldn’t be missed
If I were to die
I’m so lost
only my bills would miss me
My girlfriend wouldn’t know
until she tried to kiss me
I’m so lost
all my lost things I’ve found
Not sure if it was them
or me on the ground
I’m so lost
I don’t remember my name
What I do
or from where I came
I’m so lost
Who even cares
No one understands
Just a lot of blank stares
I'm so lost
and all alone
I can't reach you
even on the phone
I’m so lost
Just wondering around
If I were any more lost
I would probably get found

One Art
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
poem by Elizabeth Bishop (1976)

After The Love Has Gone
David foster, jay graydon & bill champlin
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Evry night somethin right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong oh baby wasnt right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin happened along the way
Oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Woh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love thats lost be found
Woh woh woh

What Would You Do
What would you do if your heart lost its way
Would you leave or would you stay?
The pains of losing you still lingers in my heart
And always wondering why we’re apart.
I’m going to love you no matter what people say
They can’t take that away.
They can’t take away what I feel inside
And that is something I can not hide.
No one can control a heart that’s true
And my love belongs to only you.
It’s so hard for me to see
That you no longer belong to me.
We had found a love so pure and fine
And we’d be together till the end of time.
But things don’t always work out as we planned
What we needed was a helping hand.
Some one who had been there before
Some one who could open up the doors.
Love is not a game with which to play
People get hurt every day.
Then a thought came into my mind
No one can dictate what your heart may feel
Or even tell you if love is real
So I’ll go on my way
Till I find her once again

Lost
Lost my mind, forgotten my way
Cant tell the difference between night and day
Lost all meaning and driven with strife
Become a stranger to my own life
Lost when I stare empty into the mirror
And the person staring back is unfamiler
Lost the sense of what's surreal or reality
On the verge of losing my sanity
Lost in my will and in my soul
Cant think straight I lose control
Lost in a world full of pain and sorrow
Lost in a world were there is no tomorrow

Alphabet Lost And Found
On this fateful day, in the history of whenever,
An epidemic of missing letters has swept the land.
Whatever the cause, for the sake of future generations,
In the limited time we have been permitted, these stories must be told.
There was an apple that lost his 'a'
There was a zebra that lost his 'z'
There was a chauffeur that left his 'auffer' on the dashboard
Of the car that lost its 'r'
Well, the car had lost its 'r' in a pothole
On a street that lost its 'e'
When the garbage collector with a missing 'ector' swept it up
With a broom that lost its 'oom'
Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together-
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
There was a school that lost its 'cool'
when they tired to ring the bell that had no 'l'
With all the letters gone, the spelling bee was canceled
Science teachers had their hands full
English classes could not be complete
Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together
Where they gonna go without their letters?
How could they survive without their letters?
Where they gonna go to find their letters?
They gonna have to get together
Crowds of people, animals, and incomplete words have been seen at a previously unknown place to be referred to as-
The alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet lost and found) (how could they survive without their letters)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they gonna have to get together)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they gonna have to get together)
At the alphabet lost and found (alphabet and lost found) (they gonna have to get together)

Things I Have Lost
During my life I've lost many things...
I've lost my teddy bear
I've lost my blanket
I've lost my bottle and binkie
---------
I've lost my homework
I've lost my backpack
I've lost my books and glasses
---------
I've lost my keys
I've lost my cellphone
I've lost my wallet and my credit card
---------
But with all the things I've lost,
I've NEVER lost a person like you
and don't plan on it any time soon.

Right As Rain
Ive been trying so hard to close my eyes
Dawn is rising under those cloudy skies
Days in darkness
Seemed like theyd never end
But now the rules are changing, girl
We can begin again
And well be right as rain
Whos been fooling you
Theyve been cruel to me
The kind of love we share
Is hard for those people to see
Stormy weather
Still the chill remains
What they thought was lost forever
Has been found again
And well be right as rain
All those violent people
Wind up tearing our peace apart
Do their best to destroy our future
Before it has a chance to start
Never had a chance to start
The kind of love we share
Its so hard for some to see
I know it was hard for me
It aint lost forever
Its been found again
In the rain
And it feels so good to me

Get Lost
People say get lost
So you decide to try
But when you go into the woods
You just come out and cry
People say get lost
So you try again
This time in a river
But it’s not a fitting end
People say get lost
So you try one last time
This time you close your eyes
And imagine the world you’ll find
People say get lost
And when you finally do
You can never return
From inside of you
You are lost inside yourself
Forever until the day
People say forgive me
And you feel the right way
One person did get lost
And could never find her way
She got lost writing this
And is still gone today

Lost And Found
You know the question, find the answer
Stirring deep within your mind
Don't Have to Promise, You have a reason
For what it is you need to find
I was searching, until I found it
And I saw it in you
It seems so real, but I can feel me
Getting closer to you
If clocks could stop, time wouldn't waste
And I could tell you once more
That we are running, without eachother
There's not much to live for
I tried to find, the side you hide,
The side that pushes me away,
You're standing close so, I can tell you
That I wish you would stay
I wouldn't know myself
I'm lost without you here
If you could see my side
I will wait for you, no matter what you do
Cause you're a part of me now
We will see this through
Go on to something new
We were lost but now we're found
As days go by, you're fading faster
Looking for something new
It's hard to notice, you're looking past me
When I'm right within your view
I wouldn't know myself
I'm lost without you here
If you could see my side
I will wait for you, no matter what you do
Cause you're a part of me now
We will see this through
Go on to something new
We were lost but now we're found
It's been a bumpy road
I'll try to carry your load
I'll try to understand
Your fate is in your hands
If you could see my side
I wouldn't know myself
I'm lost without you here
If you could see my side
I will wait for you no matter what you do
Cause you're a part of me now
We will see this through
Go on to something new
We were lost but now we're found
We were lost and now we're found

Pay to Be Forgotten
they have lost all respect
they have found my faults
enjoy pointing them out
full of my inner damnation
full of gradual redemption
laughing at the thought
a debt to them
no less have i fought
i have lost to them
there they go
losing all respect
going out of their way
they say
you ruined your life
you lost what was best
you gave away your chances
i say
i am not the same
i have changed
i cant lie to seem real
that was not who i am
this is who i am
i have no heart
therefor i am not living
my life is not worthy
so ill pay my debt
and be gone from them
they will leave
and ill stay forgotten

If Only Through Heavens Eyes
Oh, oh
I never thought you were
A fair weather friend
You never let me down
Youre true to the end
Then the darkest hour
And all was lost
Somehow you left the light on
Faced the wrong
And showed the world a thing or two
Stood up for me and for you
And you should know
Chorus:
Some say it wasnt worth
The things we went through
I say it aint worth losing you
I hope you know how much
Youve changed all our lives
Someday youll see
If only through heavens eyes
Only through heavens eyes
I still remember
Things that you said
I keep your words alive
I can never forget
cus in the final hour
You made me proud
So proud that I could know you
Told the world
Its time that they believe in you
You stood tried and true
Chorus
And so we cant forget
Weve got to keep the memory
The ones who took the fall
They did it for us all
And we should learn from it
Stand up if you believe in it
Youve got to face the world
Be strong
Strong

Lost And Found
We were only 15
I let her go like paper air planes
How can I explain
That Im lost without you around
What If I never lost you
I wouldnt have to find you all over and over
(over and over)
Your the one Ive, Ive always wanted
The one that I just cant live without
No one understands
The meaning of your eyes
And how I feel
Burning deep inside
What If I never lost you
I wouldnt have to find you all over and over
(over and over)
Your the one Ive, Ive always wanted
The one that I just cant live without
Get the flyers up
Have you seen the girl with my heart on her sweater
Get the flyers up
Have you seen the girl with my heart on her sweater
my heart on her sweater
Send her on my way
Send it here to stay
Sending light just like a star
Tell me where you are
Where you are
Sending light just like a star
When you come to me
Come today
Embrace me and break me
Embrace me and break me so go
Your lost without
Your lost without
Your lost and found
Your lost and found
Your my lost and found

Little Roland Lost
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
He wondered too far now
He is lost and lonely
Little roland all alone
Cause he cant find his way
Wish I was home in the arms of my mom
Shes the one to protect me
But here I am in the woods by myself
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
I see a path maybe this is the way
That leads to safety
No just a dead end leading to nowhere
Wont somebody find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Little roland see your field eyes
Little legs running wildly
Comes the night, strange noises
Guess hes lost forever
Im lost, Im lost, find me
Im lost, Im lost, find me

The Loser
He lost his money first of all
And losing that is half the story-
And later on he tried a fall
With fate, in things less transitory
He lost his heart-and found it dead-
(His one and only true discovery),
And after that he lost his head,
And lost his chances of recovery.
He lost his honour bit by bit
Until the thing was out of question.
He worried so at losing it,
He lost his sleep and his digestion.
He lost his temper- and for good-
The remnants of his reputation,
His taste in wine, his choice of food,
And then, in rapid culmination,
His certitudes, his sense of truth,
His memory, his self control,
The love that graced his early youth,
And lastly his immortal soul.
