I haven’t had too much time to think about Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday this week, and I’ve already deployed Grateful Dead’s ‘Loser’ for another theme, so here’s something from outside my usual gene pool.

Let’s have a classic tearjerker from Bread this week. And why not? That doesn’t make it a bad thing.

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
But since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay

I wander through the night
And search the world to find the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I’ve got to make you see

That I’m lost without your love
Life without you isn’t worth the trouble of
And I’m as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can’t believe it’s real
But someday soon I’ll wake
And find my heart won’t have to break

Yes, I’m lost without your love
Life without you isn’t worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darling, can’t you see
If we had love before
We can have it back once more
