f it had to happen though
At least now I know
But it don’t make me feel any better
I got in the car and I drove
Nowhere to go
But I knew that I had to see you
And now that I did
I can’t eat
I can’t sleep
Maybe it’s not worth it
I can’t breathe
I can’t be
I can’t be your back-up option
Left with nothing
So I walked to your door
And there on your porch
I saw you with his arms wrapped around you
And that look of surprise
Your daggers for eyes
And I knew right then I had lost you
And now that I know
I can't eat
I can’t sleep
Maybe it’s not worth it
I can’t breathe
I can’t be
I can’t be your back-up option
Left with nothing
All this ends right now
I can’t keep breaking down
There’s nothing left to hide
I’ve never been so alive
As when I’m with you
And now it hurts
It hurts
And now that I know
I can't eat
I can’t sleep
Maybe it’s not worth it
I can’t breathe
I can’t be
I can’t be your back-up option
Left with nothing
So the memories fade
More and more each day
But the hurt it just keeps on repeating
I’d follow you half-round the world
Anywhere
But you knew some point I would be leaving

There were times when it felt like nothing ever would go my way,
Reliving my mistakes, and their bitter taste
I was lost I was lost I was an echo you couldn’t hear
A child that disappeared without a trace
But then everything fell into place
Like it belonged
Like it was meant all along
Everything fell into place
There were times when it felt like I was left on a battlefield,
wounded without a shield, slipping away
I saw you, I saw you then our eyes met on a winter day
The ice all melted away, when I saw your face
And then everything fell into place
Like it belonged
Like it was meant all along
Everything fell into place
There were times when it felt like I was traveling on my own
So helpless and so alone
Now I know I was wrong
And now I am where I belong

His earworm melodies and sophisticated songwriting earned him the ASCAP Robert Allen Songwriting Award.
On his upcoming release "You Would Have Loved It," Losben blends intricate stories with elements of Britpop and 90s rock.
