Lost, Not Found

I saw you stand in the doorway
Never felt like this before
Said one word to me, "Stay."
As I got up for the door

You’re lost, not found
I don’t want you around
You love it more than me
Take it, leave me, go be free

Can’t leave you here
But I can’t stay long
Why should I listen, dear
When you’re always wrong

You’re lost, not found
I don’t want you around
You love it more than me
Take it, leave me, go be free

You tell me it’ll end soon enough
Then it doesn’t end at all
Baby, this decisions quiet tough
It’s a pretty hard call

You’re lost, not found
I don’t want you around
You love it more than me
Take it, leave me, go be free

I won’t follow you down, babe
Don’t think I will, I won’t
You lay a wake of destruction, babe
Never come back, just don’t
