I Love You But I'm Lost Lyrics

Lost in the maze of the back streets I struggled
Fighting my way through a whole lot of trouble
Too many people were talking without moving their mouths
So many days, so many nights, ever wondered
About the lies that have stolen my thunder
In the haze of my mind all the wires were crossed
I love you but I'm lost

From a flame to the spark of an ember to a fire on the fifth of November
We have strayed from the light now we count the dots
I love you but I'm lost
I love you but I'm lost

Look at the marks on your arms, all the colors
How you like to make them pay (how you like to make them pay)
These are the reasons why your life is not quite what it was
In a dream at the edge of a river
Where we swam and I watched you shiver
Came to life in my arms and then turned to dust
I love you but I'm lost

From a flame to the spark of an ember to a fire on the fifth of November
We have strayed from the light now we count the dots
I love you but I'm lost
I love you but I'm lost

All we needed was some time (x4)

I love you but I'm lost (x7)

Lost in the maze of the back streets I struggled
Fighting my way through a whole lot of trouble
Too many people were talking without moving their mouths
So many days, so many nights, ever wondered
About the lies that have stolen my thunder
In the haze of my mind all the wires were crossed
I love you but I'm lost

From a flame to the spark of an ember to a fire on the fifth of November
We have strayed from the light now we count the dots
I love you but I'm lost
I love you but I'm lost

Look at the marks on your arms, all the colors 
How you like to make them pay (how you like to make them pay)
These are the reasons why your life is not quite what it was
In a dream at the edge of a river
Where we swam and I watched you shiver
Came to life in my arms and then turned to dust
I love you but I'm lost

From a flame to the spark of an ember to a fire on the fifth of November
We have strayed from the light now we count the dots
I love you but I'm lost
I love you but I'm lost

All we needed was some time (x4)

I love you but I'm lost (x7)

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.
