I'm Lost And I'll Never Find The Way

Now you say its best to part
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm lost and I'll never find the way
Since you said we must part darling you have broke my heart
I am drifting like a ship lost at sea
In a world of despair its so lonesome there
Why don't you come back to me
You said you'd be true no one else would ever do
I believed you with all my heart and soul
But you broke every vow and its all over now
I'm left in this world lone and cold
