“Lost count of all the countless things
I've lost throughout the years
Lost friends and time and interest in
The things I should hold dear
Lost sleep just pondering the things
That have been lost to me
Especially the loss of love
I've need desperately

I find it doesn't help at all
To sit around and brood
I find nobody gives a damn
About your petty moods
At least that's what I thought
Until the day you came along
Now, I found my restless soul
Has finally found a home

Lost and found, I'm safe sound
No more drifting aimlessly, I've settled down
I've finally came around
No more to roam, those days are gone
I was alone, now I know I don't have to be
Since your amazing love has found me”

“Driven to insanity, driven to the edge
Driven to the point of almost no return
Driven to think awful thoughts, do awful things
But at least I’d like to think I’ve learned

I’m driven

Driven to work harder
Driven to be better everyday
Driven to keep on and on
To achieve the things I want
I’ll be sorry if I don’t
Make the most of livin’
I’m driven”
