When you get older, plainer, saner
Will you remember all the danger we came from?
Burnin' like embers, falling tender
Long before the days of no surrender years ago
And will you know?
[Pre-Chorus]
So smoke 'em if you got 'em 'cause it's going down
All I ever wanted was you
I'll never get to heaven 'cause I don't know how
Let's raise a glass or two
[Chorus]
To all the things I've lost on you, oh
Tell me are they lost on you? Oh
Just that you could cut me loose, oh
After everything I've lost on you, is that lost on you?
Oh, oh
Oh, is that lost on you?
Oh, oh
Baby, is that lost on you? Is that lost on you?
[Verse 2]
Wish that I could see the machinations
Understand the toil of expectations in your mind
Hold me like you never lost your patience
Tell me that you love me more than hate me all the time
And you're still mine
So smoke 'em if you got 'em 'cause it's going down
All I ever wanted was you
Let's take a drink of heaven, this can turn around
Let's raise a glass or two
[Chorus]
To all the things I've lost on you, oh
Tell me are they lost on you? Oh
Just that you could cut me loose, oh
After everything I've lost on you, is that lost on you?
Oh, oh
Oh, is that lost on you?
Oh, oh
Baby, is that lost on you? Is that lost on you?
[Bridge]
Lost on you
Lost on you
Let's raise a glass or two
[Chorus]
To all the things I've lost on you, oh
Tell me are they lost on you? Oh
Just that you could cut me loose, oh
After everything I've lost on you, is that lost on you?
Is that lost on you?
About
The Death Valley EP’s second single sees Pergolizzi sing a toast to the time spent (and wasted) on a failed relationship, as she tries to come to terms with the break-up that she didn’t want, and struggles to understand it.
LP spoke about the song’s video (directed by Chuck David Willis) with Noisey, declaring:
This video is the closest I’ve ever come to having an intimate cinematic representation of my memories and my real life merging,“ explains LP. "Kinda wild being an actor in your own life for a little . It really heightened my sense of moving on and what that actually looks like.

“When I wrote that song I was actually a year away from breaking up with that person,” she says. “It was like being suffocated slowly… I always go into a relationship wanting it to last forever, I think most people do, and then you have that scary period where you become aware that it isn’t working.” Full article.
Yes! On September 16, 2016, LP interpreted the song in live at Le Grand Studio RTL.
