Lost Me

## Single by GIVĒON

"**Lost Me**" is a song by GIVĒON, released as the third single from his debut studio album, *Give or Take*, on June 24, 2022. The official music video was directed by Salomon Ligthelm in Los Angeles, California.

To *Apple Music*, he explained, "I'm always in something. I'm always romantically involved, but for this time, I'm going to actually try to just take time for myself and not be bummed out about it, not be melancholy about it. It was just more of a shoulder-shrug, like honestly, let me just, for lack of a better word, do me and not make it feel like there's anything wrong with it. That's why the sonics are so—there's so much rhythm to it. There's so much bounce to it. It has the drums; it has the light and airy acoustic guitar that you hear throughout the whole song. It was me just chillin'."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah

Oh, oh-oh, woah, oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, mm

[Verse 1]

Was it all my fault?

Maybe one day, I'll grow

I'm not fixin' what broke us

Instead, I'm

In this ride and I barely know her

But she already know what it is

Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not lookin' for the one

Later, but for now I'm havin' fun

I'm done 'cause I always get hurt

Won't be here for long

Baby, you can hate me if you want

But now, I gotta put myself first

[Chorus]

We can kiss, we can touch and do it often (Ooh, ooh)

But if you're here lookin' for love, that's when you lost me (You lost me, you lost me)

Hey, yeah, yeah

We can kiss, we can touch and do it often (Often)

But if you're here lookin' for love, that's when you lost me (You lost me, you lost me)

Hey, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah (Lost me)

Oh, oh-oh, woah, oh (Lost me)

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, mm (Lost me)

[Verse 2]

Nights spent all alone (Hate it)

Won't be here for long (Face it)

Put your number in my phone, but don't save it (Please, don't, please, don't fall for me)

Visit once or twice and then you made assumptions

Thinkin' it was more

Now you're understandin' that it all meant nothin'

To me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not lookin' for the one (One)

Later, but for now I'm havin' fun (I'm havin' fun)

I'm done 'cause I always get hurt

Won't be here for long

Baby, you can hate me if you want

But now, I gotta put myself first

[Chorus]

We can kiss, we can touch and do it often (Often)

But if you're here lookin' for love, that's when you lost me (You lost me, you lost me, yeah)

Hey, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah (Lost me)

Oh, oh-oh, woah, oh (Lost me)

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, mm (Lost me)

[Outro]

It wasn't all my fault (Mm-mm)

Just thought I'd let you know (Yeah, yeah)

Something's gotten into me

Ever since you let me go

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: GIVĒON's Mother]

*No matter how good you think somebody is*

*Always protect your heart*

There's no such thing as a perfect relationship

Because there's no such thing as perfect people

So just learn from it and move forward
