Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
But since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way, and I need you back to stay

I wonder through the night
And search the world for the words to make it right
All I want is the way it used to be
With you here close to me
And I've got to make you see

That I'm lost with out your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of

I'm as helpless as a ship without a wind
A touch without a feel
I can't believe its real
And someday soon I'll wake and find my heart won't have to break

Yes, I'm lost with out your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darling can't you see
If we had love before we can have it back once more
