[Verse 1] I don’t think there’s anything left to save I’ve been this way for far too long You keep reaching for somebody Who disappeared before you came along Don’t waste your breath explaining I stopped listening years ago You keep searching for a reason I stopped caring what you know You think there’s something underneath Something worth bringing back to life But you’re looking for a man Who already said goodbye [Pre-Chorus] Go on, try to pull me out Tell me what I’m living for You can scream until you’re empty I won’t hear you anymore You want the truth? Here it is There’s nothing left behind You can’t rescue what is missing You can’t save a loss cause [Chorus] I’m a lost cause Don’t waste your love There’s nothing here You’re reaching for a ghost I’m a lost cause Beyond your touch You keep trying to save me But you’re not enough Don’t call my name Don’t make me choose There’s nothing left For you to lose I’m a lost cause And I know it [Verse 2] I watch you searching for a crack Some little sign that I might change You keep mistaking my silence For a heart that’s just afraid I’ve heard every promise I’ve memorized every lie You keep offering me heaven Like I haven’t seen the other side Don’t look so disappointed I never asked you to stay You wanted something beautiful You should’ve looked the other way [Pre-Chorus] Go on, try to pull me out Tell me what I’m living for You can scream until you’re empty I won’t hear you anymore You want the truth? Here it is There’s nothing left behind You can’t rescue what is missing You can’t save a loss cause [Chorus] I’m a lost cause Don’t waste your love There’s nothing here You’re reaching for a ghost I’m a lost cause Beyond your touch You keep trying to save me But you’re not enough Don’t call my name Don’t make me choose There’s nothing left For you to lose I’m a lost cause And I know it [Bridge] DO YOU THINK I HAVEN’T TRIED? DO YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW? THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING BROKEN AND LETTING GO! YOU WANT THE OLD ME! HE’S NOT HERE! YOU’RE HOLDING ON TO AN EMPTY SHELL! AND I’M NOT COMING BACK! [Breakdown] DON’T SAVE ME! DON’T WAKE ME! DON’T PRETEND THAT YOU CAN CHANGE ME! NO MERCY! NO REMEDY! YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT YOU CAN’T REACH! LET GO! LET GO! I’M EVERYTHING YOU CAN’T CONTROL! [Final Chorus] I’M A LOST CAUSE! DON’T WASTE YOUR LOVE! THERE’S NOTHING HERE YOU CAN BRING BACK TO LIFE! I’M A LOST CAUSE! BEYOND YOUR TOUCH! YOU KEEP TRYING TO SAVE ME BUT I’VE HAD ENOUGH! DON’T CALL MY NAME! DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE! YOU WANTED SOMETHING I COULD NEVER GIVE YOU! I’M A LOST CAUSE! AND I KNOW IT! [Outro] You can stop trying now… I know you meant well… You wanted to save me… How unfortunate… I was never asking to be saved.
