Lost in Before
Fled to a sunshine state
Left on an opaque plain
The worst, you heard, is still yet to come
Nightly reminder ignites the run
A weak heart is set on stuck
And hope’s lost in before

Tears swept under the rug
Seems like they’ll never come
As you watched the rubber starting to run
Hot pursuit, could not keep up
He begs, “please return to me”
But it’s all lost in before
All lost in before

The first one hurt but the second’s worse
Keep on pushing it back
Press into familiar skin
Unsure when you’ll touch it again
Drive with the blinders on
Assailing so serene
Face is constructing a salty stream
A baleful black takes over the scene
While love bathes in a vitamin sheen
The worst, you heard, is still yet to come
Daily reminder renders you stunned
Holding on to a longing gone
It’s all lost in before
All lost in before
You’re lost in before
