Hey, you ever hear a song that just gets you? Like it’s peeling back layers of your heart you didn’t even know were there? That’s what Things I Lost In You is all about. This isn’t just a track you hum along to—it’s a quiet ache, a soft whisper of all the pieces of yourself you left behind in someone else. Picture sitting on your couch at 2 a.m., the world dead quiet, and this song comes on, wrapping you up in its bittersweet embrace. Yeah, it’s that kind of vibe.
What makes this song hit so hard is how it captures the messy, beautiful wreckage of love. It’s not about the big, dramatic breakup scenes you see in movies. It’s about the small things—the way you lost your favorite hoodie at their place, or how you stopped calling your best friend because you were too wrapped up in them. Maybe it’s the confidence you had before they made you question yourself, or the dreams you tucked away to make room for theirs. The lyrics dig into those quiet losses, the ones you don’t notice until they’re gone, and they do it with this raw, tender honesty that feels like a hug and a punch all at once.
The melody? Oh, it’s haunting. Think slow, soulful piano chords that linger like a memory you can’t shake, paired with a vocal that’s equal parts fragile and fierce. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to close your eyes and just feel it. There’s this one line—I won’t spoil it, but when you hear it, it’s like the whole world stops for a second. It’s universal but so personal, like it was written just for you.
Why does this song matter? Because it’s a reminder that love, even when it hurts, shapes us. It’s not just about losing things—it’s about finding yourself again, picking up the pieces, and realizing you’re still whole, even if you’re a little scarred. It’s for anyone who’s ever loved too hard, given too much, or walked away wondering who they even are anymore. This song says, “I see you, and it’s okay to feel all of it.”
So, next time you’re in your feels, put this on. Let it break you open a little. What’s something you lost in someone? Bet this song will make you think about it—and maybe even help you let it go

Lyrics
It’s over I’ve known it for a long time
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you
I loved you darling how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there’s one thing I guess I’ll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me
I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn’t think you’d ever prove untrue
Ah but it’s over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you
