Content
"Lost You Anyway" is a mid-tempo country 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 her 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]
