The only UK number one (peaking in April 2010) by Scouting For Girls, one of many British pop rock bands to emerge in the late noughties.
[Verse 1]
Every night I remember that evening
The way you looked when you said you were leaving
The way you cried as you turned to walk away
The cruel words and the false accusations
The mean looks and the same old frustrations
I never thought that we'd throw it all away
But we threw it all away
[Chorus]
And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
And I'm a little bit lost without you
This ain't a love song this is goodbye (ooh)
This ain't a love song this is goodbye (ooh)
[Verse 2]
I've been lost, I've been out, I've been losing
I've been tired, I'm all hurt and confusion
I've been mad, I'm the kind of man that I'm not
And though I'm down, I'll be coming back fighting
I may be scared and a little bit frightened
But I'll be back, I'll be coming back to life
I'll be coming back to life
[Chorus]
And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
And I'm a little bit lost without you
This ain't a love song this is goodbye (ooh)
This ain't a love song this is goodbye (ooh)
[Bridge]
Oh oh
And you can try (you can try)
And you can try but you'll never keep me down
And you can try (you can try)
And you can try but you'll never keep me down
La da da da da, la da da da da
(I won't be lost; I won't be down)
[Chorus]
And I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm a bloody big mess inside
And I'm a little bit lost without you
This ain't a love song this is goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
It's alright (It's alright)
'Cause you can try but you'll never keep me down
It's alright (It's alright)
I may be lost but you'll never keep me down
You can try (you can try)
You can try but you'll never keep me down
You can't try (you can try)
I know I'm lost but I'm waiting to be found
[Outro]
You'll never keep me down
You'll never keep me down
Never keep me down
