[Verse 1: Leona Lewis]
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
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder & Leona Lewis, both]
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
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
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 lords eye is upon me
I swear to make things right
Whatever we've lost I know we can find
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder & Leona Lewis, both]
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
[Bridge: Leona Lewis]
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
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder & Leona Lewis, both]
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
Lost then found
Love ain't the enemy
We could be lost then found
[Outro: Leona Lewis]
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
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
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder & Leona Lewis, both]
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
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
