I'm paranoid Don't think that I can love again, no Gave all I had, for us to not even amount to friends Can't hold on to a good thing Must be scared of commitment Don't let anyone get too close, cuz I'll start running Don't think that I desereve it (don't think) Hate that I'm not perfect (hate it) Feel like I let everyone down Feel like such a burden Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me that I'm wrong Anything's better than being alone I things this way (and I'm) Deeply ashamed I look at myself It's not like I can blame someone else You know they say you reap what you sew Guilty words ring hollow I say I'm done, but I'm back again Looking back, back on all my sins I've broken down, so many times Wondering why I gave love a bad name I gave love a bad name Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Oh I, I've been losing Oh I, I've been I've been losing I've been losing Losing I've been losing Losing I've been losing Losing I've been losing Losing I've been losing Losing I've been losing Losing Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me Tell me what is wrong with me Wrong with me

Wondering 04:16
Was the coldest December that I ever did have Held my pillow all Winter To keep it from getting bad Was the rainiest Spring But it brought the flowers again And it got me thinking of you How have you been? Where you been at? Did you find somebody, to love you back? Better than me? I shouldn't ask Just want to let you know Still got your back I wanna let you know babe (I'm just) It's out of my control baby (I'm just) Wondering 'bout you Hey baby Wondering 'bout you Wondering You got me wondering (wondering babe) Wondering You got me wondering ooo Wondering You got me wondering (wondering) Wondering You got me wondering ooo Wondering I'm just Wondering I'm just Wondering I'm just Wondering I wonder 'bout us babe Can't believe I'm not over you I don't love in vain And you meant everything The seasons could never change that On and on I go babe (on and on, on and on) Wondering 'bout the same things (on and on. on and on) Only reason I don't speak, is 'cause I respect you and give you your space I don't want to intrude Even though I can't live without you Even though I've been going crazy I would never put that on you Just know I'm by the phone if you need me, need me (need me) Ain't too proud to beg, should you need it, need it (need it) 'Cause I truly love you I do I wanna let you know babe (I'm just) It's out of my control baby (I'm just) Wondering 'bout you Hey baby Wondering 'bout you Wondering You got me wondering (wondering babe) Wondering You got me wondering ooo Wondering You got me wondering (wondering) Wondering You got me wondering ooo Wondering I'm just Wondering I'm just Wondering I'm just Wondering

about

For, Lost Thoughts is Ballad's most personal project to date. Since the release of his last EP, Croix, Ballad experienced a transitioning period in his life where he ultimately learned some of his biggest lessons in love. Laced with vulnerably, every word uttered from Ballad tells a story, his story. The project includes his single release "Wondering", which is a slow ballad dedicated to a love lost.

In the words of Ballad,
"This felt like therapy for me, like I needed to get out all of these emotions that life has taken me through"

From joy, love, heartbreak, and acceptance, Ballad eloquently takes listeners through his journey of growth and healing on For, Lost Thoughts.
