Lost Cause Lyrics

I took the midnight path
In the aftermath
Tearing out the sutures

Is a new way back
To a broken past
Just our broken future?

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, I'm not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Do you remember us
On the late-night bus
Taking everything for granted?

You said it's scary with the lights on
That my love songs are fight songs
But my punches never landed

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found
The world we found

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, I'm not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Are we a lost cause?
Are we just lost 'cause
We never see the future we refuse to be?

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, the possibility
That I'm not the enemy

I'll be your lost cause

Tearing out the sutures

Is a new way back
To a broken past
Just our broken future?

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, I'm not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

You said it's scary with the lights on
That my love songs are fight songs
But my punches never landed

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, I'm not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Are we a lost cause?
Are we just lost 'cause
We never see the future we refuse to be?

And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your lost 'cause
You won't see me as I am, the possibility
That I'm not the enemy

I'll be your lost cause

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.
