Dermot Kennedy Lyrics
"Lost"

When everything was broken
The devil hit his second stride
But you remember what I told you
Someday I'll need your spine to hide behind

For fear of moments stolen
I don't want to say goodnight
But I still see you in the morning
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes

I could've told you bout the long nights
And no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell your heroes 'go hide'
My sense of wonder is just a little tired

But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night
I will hold you till I hold you right

But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine

So run into the open
Keep your hand inside of mine
And then when everything is over
I hope to think of this as better times

The sky got red and swollen
I guess I never see the signs
There can't be songs for every soldier
There can't be solace every time you cry

I could've told you bout the long nights
And no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell your heroes 'go hide'
My sense of wonder is just a little tired

But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night
I will hold you till I hold you right

But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine

I was lost—till I found you
Now these songs will hold and hide your name
But It once was all about you
Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same

But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
With the love you deserve is love you never find
I've learned in love and death we don't decide
But if only you could see yourself from my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
