I lost myself lyrics

I’m hungry, bring me some pills on which to dine,

I’m thirsty, bring me some whiskey, gin, some wine.

Bring me your jokes, a glance that looks away,

Your tired touch, your smirks and such,

Don’t save me for a rainy day.

Maybe you’ll love me for an hour, a day, a week,

I’m not sure when it all slipped away,

But I’m still lying, crying at your feet,

A ball and chain, an old refrain

To the man who wouldn’t even speak...

It’s no good for a proud girl to give so much away,

It’s no good for a smart girl not to let you walk away,

But I’m dying without you and dying within,

My days were all about you, so where would I begin

To live?

Your shadow still flickering on my soul,

but empty, with a story left untold.

I lost myself when you switched off that light,

I lost myself and the man I lost

And that ain’t right...

Don’t wanna ask for the moon in the sky,

Though I love you to that big old moon and back,

Don’t wanna ask for the twinkle in your eye,

I saw it once, I’ll make do with that.

I’ll leave your shadow still flickering on my soul,

but empty, with a story left untold.

I lost myself when you switched off that light,

I lost myself and the man I lost

And that ain’t right...
