Song lyrics

[Intro:]
Lost on my own
In search of something real
How cruel to be exposed
To everything that I can't touch but still feel

[Verse 1:]
How'd I end up here?
So uncomfortable
I'm a stranger in this body
The world's an ugly place
And that's a fact that fate has brought me
I had to disappear
So will it all just go away
Now the end is drawing near
And God I wish you would've stayed

[Pre-Chorus:]
It cuts deep cause our lives are still attached
A deadly touch spreads an itch that can't be scratched
Sometimes I wish it would all just fade to black
I won't go back

[Chorus:]
Now I'm lost on my own
In search of something real
How cruel to be exposed
To everything that I can't touch but still feel
Lost on my own
They'll never understand
How tragic to suppose
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Verse 2:]
A captive beauty queen
So untouchable
In a town that has disowned me
Nice guys finish last
And that's a fact that she has shown me

[Pre-Chorus:]
He made the cut but she deserves a better man
I won't rust like the liars and letterman
Hedge my bets 'cause it can't hurt to pretend
Until the end

[Chorus:]
Now I'm lost on my own
In search of something real
How cruel to be exposed
To everything that I can't touch but still feel
Lost on my own
They'll never understand
How tragic to suppose
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Bridge:]
So tell the town below
As death took hold
You watched helplessly
To hell with letting go
Cause when it snows
It falls to you from me
It falls to you from me

[Chorus:]
Lost on my own
In search of something real
How cruel to be exposed
To everything that I can't touch but still feel
Lost on my own
They'll never understand
How tragic to suppose
That I almost held the world in my hands

[Outro:]
To hell with letting go
Cause when it snows
It falls to you from me
