DON'T GET LOST [Verse 1] Three little words were left with me, I never knew how deep they'd be. I didn't ask what they meant that day. I thought we'd have more time to say The things we leave until tomorrow, before goodbye becomes our sorrow. But through the years and every cost, I still remember, "Don't get lost." [Pre-Chorus] I wish I knew what you meant back then. I wish I could hear you say it again. But I won't pretend that I understand. I just carry them the best I can. [Chorus] Don't get lost when the smoke rolls in, when your heart must learn to breathe again. Don't get lost when the road is crossed, or loving somebody comes at a cost. When the light burns low and the night feels long, when you're trying to find where you belong, three little words when all hope seems lost: Don't get lost. Don't get lost. [Verse 2] I've lost myself by holding tight, trying to make the wrong things right. I've given pieces of me away, hoping that love would choose to stay. I've chased the truth and questioned why. I've heard the truth beneath a lie. I've counted every wound and cost, and wondered when I became so lost. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe those words meant something then that I will never fully understand. But they followed me through every mile, waiting quietly all this while. [Chorus] Don't get lost when the smoke rolls in, when your heart must learn to breathe again. Don't get lost when the road is crossed, or loving somebody comes at a cost. When the light burns low and the night feels long, when you're trying to find where you belong, three little words when all hope seems lost: Don't get lost. Don't get lost. [Rap] Three words, that's all, but they stayed with me, through every storm and everything I couldn't see. Through the nights I broke, through the tears, through the cost, somehow I kept hearing, "Don't get lost." I've been lost in the hurt, lost trying to heal, lost in the space between the false and the real. Lost giving pieces of myself to belong, trying to make a right out of everything wrong. But I'm still here, and I'm learning somehow, I don't need every answer right now. I can't tell you the meaning, won't pretend that I know. Some words stay with you wherever you go. So I carry those three like a light in the dark, like a quiet little flame protecting a spark. And when the smoke gets thick and I can't see across, I stop... I breathe... Don't get lost. [Bridge] Maybe one day I'll understand why those words never left my hands. Maybe their meaning changes with time, a different answer, a different rhyme. I won't decide what they meant back then. I won't rewrite how the story ends. I'll honor the mystery that remains, three little words that still know my name. [Final Chorus] Don't get lost when the smoke rolls in, when your heart must learn to breathe again. Don't get lost in everything it cost. You are more than everything you've lost. When yesterday calls, you don't have to go. There's still so much road you don't yet know. And when you can't see through all that smoke, hold to the words that time never broke. Don't get lost. Don't get lost. Three little words I've carried this far, through every wound and every scar. I may never know what they meant back then, but somehow they find me again and again. [Outro] Three little words when the night feels long. Three little words still holding on. Three little words through every cost: Don't get lost. I'm listening. Don't get lost. I'm trying. Don't get lost. I'm still here, still becoming, still finding my way home.
