Love Lost
Trey Songz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Reminiscing I remember me and you we used to play with the dogs
While you were sleep i'd stare, stare while you lay in my arms
And now I'm stuck on stupid Rain Forrest couldn't get wetter than you get, (no)
I used to beat it up you gave me your love I abused it now I'm facing the music

Oh how I yearn for your touch (I'm) so lonely now that you left me
If I could run away you know I would
And I'm hurtin' cause girl I never loved you like I should

When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost

I was trippin' wouldn't listen now I'm sitting sipping shots at the bar
Now I'm riding to the 90's hits listening to Aerosmith
I don't wanna close my eyes don't wanna fall asleep
Tell me how I can I be fly without the wind beneath my wings

Oh how I yearn for your touch I'm so lonely now that you left me
If I could run away you know I would
And I'm hurtin' cause girl I never loved you like I should
When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost

And now I see
The man you need
When I look into the mirror I see change
And I close my eyes and wish you could see the same
But it's too late

When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do

When your love is lost
Your whole worlds thrown off
When the one you need don't need you
What do you do when love is lost

Lost gone out the window
When love is lost
Lost can't see your love no more

When the one you need don't need you
What do you do you do when love is lost
