[Intro – Soft and heavy] Lost words… [Verse 1 – Low, honest] I keep saying the same things in a different key Trying to reach you through the static between you and me My goals for this family never shifted one degree But the words keep falling short of what I need them to be I stay quiet now because the talking only burns Every sentence turns to blame before the lesson can be learned My mind is already tired from the battles that I fight Adding one more loop just steals another piece of night [Pre-Chorus – Quiet rise] When nothing that I say lands clean… [Chorus – Open and aching] These are lost words Floating in the space where understanding used to live Lost words I keep sending them out but there’s nothing left to give I still love this family, that part never changed I’m still on my path, still calling out your name But these are lost words Yeah, lost words And I’m tired of the sound [Verse 2 – Deeper, more worn] You say I’m twisting, I say you’re pulling away We’re both just defending the pain we feel today I wanted you beside me when the morning felt too hard Instead we trade goodbyes like we’re already too far I remain grateful for the life we tried to build I remain positive even when the hope feels stilled But there’s a special kind of lost that settles in the chest When the only tools you have don’t seem to pass the test [Bridge – Near whisper, then steady] I won’t stop loving… I won’t stop trying… But I can’t keep bleeding From the same old fighting [Final Chorus – Fuller, resigned but clear] These are lost words Floating in the space where understanding used to live Lost words I keep sending them out but there’s nothing left to give I still love this family, that part never changed I’m still on my path, still calling out your name But these are lost words Yeah, lost words And I’m tired of the sound [Outro – Soft fade] Lost words… Still here… Still loving… Lost words.
