Lost Boy’ was written about someone that I loved many many years ago.
It really wasn’t a healthy relationship. I helplessly watched as he set out to destroy himself (and almost took me with him) but I learnt a very valuable lesson -loving someone isn’t enough to save them, however much you might want it to be. I’ll never forget the utter hell that he put me through but I forgave him a long time ago and I always hoped that one day he’d find happiness and a reason to build a better life, but he never did and sadly, at much to young an age, he passed away earlier this year.

​To anyone who’s currently lost - I hope you find your path…

Lyrics

A little boy lost
In a world he didn’t understand,
He could have found the path
If he’d just held onto someone’s hand,
But he just kept running,
Running further and further away….

Always walking in the shadow
When he should have sought the light,
He gave up on himself
When he should have learnt to fight,
For a life that was better,
For the life that he deserved…

He was just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
Just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy

With many borrowed tales
He added to his disguise,
Embellishing upon himself
He wove armour made of lies
He was hiding from the truth
He was hiding from himself…

And so he’d drink another drink
To try to drown his pain,
Make the same old mistakes
Time and time again,
Until there was no way forward
And no way back…

For he was just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
Just a Lost Boy
Lost Boy

He had so many chances
To take hold of someone’s hand,
But he let them slip through his fingers
Just like falling sand….
Until he was so lost,
That he couldn’t be found….

With childlike eyes
Set in the hard face of a man,
He was just a little lost boy
A real life Peter Pan,
And now his journeys reached its end.
I hope he found his Neverland….
Yes now his journeys reached its end.
I hope he found his Neverland….

For he was just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A little Lost Boy
Just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy

For he was just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
A little Lost Boy
Just a Lost Boy
A Lost Boy
