Right before this song in the CD cover, Kimberly included a little bit of the story behind it. Here is what she had to say:
When my husband asked me to marry him, it was a beautiful May night, and we were outside on a farm. There were lightning bugs all around. They put on a show for us that night. For that reason, lightning bugs were always a special symbol to us of our love. We wrote "Lost" just after my husband passed away. It was a very emotional experience for all of us. I had to dismiss myself for most of the recording and mixing of it because the lyrics are so real to me. The first time I heard it completely, I was by myself in the car on the way home from the studio one night just after it was mixed. As I was listening to it, a lightning bug began flying around right in front of me inside my car. It was a precious gift from God reminding me that my husband is still with me. - Kimberly
Lost
(Kimberly Roads, Phillip Sweet, Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, Wayne Kirkpatrick)
I don't know who I am
Staring at a million broken pieces here
I don't know where I stand
While I'm still the world goes round so free so cavalier
Aimlessly I wander, like a drifter on a narrow winding road
I've got plenty of direction but I don't know where to go
Chorus:
I'm so lost without you
I'm so lost without you
Baby I'm so lost without you
That I can't find myself
No it don't seem right this canyon of lonely lying in our bed
Lord how I've cried a waterfall of tears until my eyes turn red
Ever since you left me it's been like a bullet through my heart
And I know I should move on, but I don't know where to start
