The Lost Song - Part 1 Lyrics

Tonight
I'm free
So free
For the first time
I've seen
New life
New life
Start to breathe

And you came to me
in some way
And my life
will never be the same

(And one day you'll feel me
A whisper upon the breeze)

And that night
As I dreamed
And I slipped away
To another place
Where you spoke to me
Of this day
Of this day

And you came to me
in some way
And my life
will never be the same
And you came to me
in some way
And my life
is like a hurricane
And you came to me
in some way
And my life
will never be the same

For you're mine
And I'm yours
For life
For you're mine
And I'm yours
For life
For life

The fear is just an illusion
The fear is just an illusion
The fear is just an illusion
The fear is just an illusion

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

While this song is "Part 1" chronologically it happens to continue what happens in "Part 2".

After a break up happens where the male is especially hurt and in a bad place. He finally recovers and feels himself again. During "Part 2" the woman states she'll contact him telepathically via the couples bond, and manages to do so. This song confirms she was able to communicate to him and it seems that he's telling her using the same gift. He points out that the love wasn't an illusion at all. The illusion was the fear the woman had that initially caused the break up and how his love and his life (which is her) is like a hurricane. This song has a strong declaration of love despite the circumstances.
