I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
And I'd say
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 I was wrong
I admit that I was wrong

All I know is I'm lost without you
I'm not gonna lie
How am I going to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do?
You know I'd be lost without you

I keep trying to find my way but all I know is
I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day
I'm lost without you

How 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 know that
You're the only thing that's on my mind

Oh my bed's so cold at night and 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 going to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do?
All I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but 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
and 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 am I going to be strong without you
I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye
I don't know what I'd do?
I'm lost without you
Oh, whoa oh

    When he sang at ARIA's for Delta Goodrem he said he messed up, but he only added a couple words. Instead of singing in the first chorus "I'm lost without you" He said "you know I'd be Lost Without you". The reason delta goodrem disappeared from the music scene is because she had cancer. There was a benefit for her (I think it may have been the Aria's) and that is the only reason Darren got permission to sing "lost without you" because he performed it for her at the benefit. I'm not sure if she's still recording, but last I heard her cancer was in remission.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
