Content

"Lost You Anyway" is a ballad in which the male narrator looks back on a failed relationship. He lists off various things that he could have done in attempts to keep his lover from leaving, but then says that he probably would have "lost [her] anyway".

Critical reception

Dan Milliken of Country Universe gave the song a C− rating. He said that the lyrics were largely uninspired, but added that the production was solid, and that Keith's vocals were strong.[1] Jonathan Keefe of Slant magazine critic Jonathan Keefe said that although Keith's masculine image tended to make his ballads sound insincere, "Lost You Anyway" was still a better-constructed song in comparison to other similar songs on country radio.[2]
