i used to know where to go.
even when I was always alone.
I'd find a place to go to.
I'd let my feet take me where it would lead me.

I never felt lost
Never felt alone.

But then you came out of nowhere,
Grabbed my hand, and lead me to places
I am not familiar with

And like a lost dog, I followed you around.
Learned every place you would bring me to.

You were the magnet, and I was the stray metal that can't help but get attracted to you.

But eventually, you felt the weight of the metal,
And got tired of it.

You forced the metal off of you.
You left her in the middle of nowhere.

I used to know where to go.

Before you came, I used to know where to go.

Now, I just feel lost.
Alone.
Yearning for the magnet that once lured me in.
