Lost

Sarah McLachlan

By the shadows of the night I go 
I move away from the crowded room 
That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret 
They don't know how to feel 
They don't know what is lost 
Lost in the darkness of a land 
(Where all the hope that's offered is) 
Memories of being taken by the hand 
(And we all led into the sun) 
But I don't have a hold on what is real 
(Though we can only try) 
What is there to give or to believe 
I want it all to go away I want to be alone 
Sympathy's wasted on my hollow shell 
I feel there's nothing left to fight for 
No reason for a cause 
And I can't hear your voice and I can't feel you near 
Lost in the darkness of a land 
(Where all the hope that's offered is) 
Memories of being taken by the hand 
(And we all led into the sun) 
But I don't have a hold on what is real 
(Though we can only try) 
What is there to give or to believe 
I wanted a change knowing all I could do was try 
I was looking for someone...
