Lost Cause Lyrics

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, nobody cares

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

What is the Meaning of Lost Cause?

This melancholic melody delves into the depths of a one-sided relationship. The protagonist is emotionally exhausted, trying to salvage a love that's beyond repair. Beck paints a vivid picture of a partner who's constantly battling old demons, unable to move past their history and engage in a healthy relationship. The constant references to 'fighting for a lost cause' indicate the futile efforts put into rescuing this failing relationship. The town's indifference towards their struggles signifies how isolated they feel in their predicament. Despite the bleakness, there's an undertone of liberation as the protagonist acknowledges the futility of his efforts, hinting at an impending departure from this toxic cycle.
