Lhotse (Nepali: ल्होत्से; Chinese: 洛子峰; pinyin: Luòzǐ Fēng; Tibetan: ལྷོ་རྩེ, Wylie: lho rtse, ZYPY: Lhozê) is the fourth highest mountain on Earth (after Mount Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga) and is connected to Everest via the South Col. In addition to the main summit at 8,516 metres (27,940 ft) above sea level, Lhotse Middle (East) is 8,414 metres (27,605 ft) and Lhotse Shar is 8,383 metres (27,503 ft). It is located at the border between Tibet (China) and the Khumbu region of Nepal.
Lhotse is best known for its proximity to Mount Everest and the fact that climbers ascending the standard route on that peak spend some time on its northwest face; see below. In fact Lhotse has the smallest topographic prominence value of any official eight-thousander, as it rises only 610 m (2,000 ft) above the South Col. Hence it is often seen as a minor eight-thousander.[citation needed][by whom?]
However, Lhotse is a dramatic peak in its own right, due to its tremendous south face. This rises 3.2 km (2.0 mi) in only 2.25 km (1.4 mi) of horizontal distance, making it the steepest face of this size in the world. The south face has been the scene of many failed attempts, some notable fatalities, and very few ascents (one of them, by Tomo Česen, unverified).
verse: tell me how
how did we get here
we keep runnin from all the answers
and leaving me here with questions
its not fare
why you never there
you keep leaving me here alone
please tell me what
what you wanna do
my heart belongs to you
and i dont know what to do
you say
that you still love me
its not in your actions so whats the distractions
were falling
falling apart
feels like our ending
its not like the start
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
choruse: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
verse: please tell me
how did you and i become
then change from we to me
i see you changed
and im the one to blame
cause i noticed everything
and i never said a thing
so say whats on your mind
so we dont waste our time
tryna hold on to loose ties
oh baby
please wont you tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
instead of always just leaving me here alone
bridge: if im apart of you
and your apart of me
then why cant we talk it out
and bring it back to we
you said forever youd never leave
its worth more than everything
and thats what i believe
the choses your making are breaking us up
your making it hard to identify love
im tryna keep us together
the only way to make it better
is dont let me be alone
chorus: alone
dont wanna be
alone
dont wanna be here alone(3x)
please wont u tell me the truth
