Oh, oh
I'm staring at tears on the pages
Of letters that I never could write
And I know love isn't painless
But it's worth the risk, it's worth the fight
I'm playing it over and over
I wish that I could turn back time
Baby, we're wrong, but we could be right
Why do we say things we can't take back
And why do we miss what we never had?
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
What would it take to forget who's blamed?
I'm tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around?
Love ain't the enemy
Don't you wanna be
Lost then found?
Lost then found
Lost then found
Love ain't the enemy
We could be lost then found
Empty glasses and tables
Echoes fill these rooms
The memories go where we go
They're like the suitcase that you never lose
The good Lord's eye is upon me
I swear to make things right
Whatever we've lost I know we can find
Why do we say things we can't take back
And why do we miss what we never had?
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
What would it take to forget who's blamed?
I'm tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around?
Love ain't the enemy
Don't you wanna be
Lost then found?
The winds are calling up, we can't stop the rain
Wish that you could take it back, but it's too late
It's too late
Why do we say things we can't take back (why do we say?)
And why do we miss what we never had?
Both of us fell to the ground
The love was so lost, it couldn't be found
What would it take to forget who's blamed?
I'm tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don't we turn this around?
Love ain't the enemy
Don't you wanna be
Lost then found
Lost then found
Lost then found
Love ain't the enemy
We could be lost then found
The words came pouring out
Can't stop the rain
Wish you could take it back
But it's too late, it's too late
We could be lost then found
Lost then found
