You're Losing Me
You say i don’t understandAnd i say i know you don’tWe thought a cure wouldCome through in timeNow, i fear it won’t
Remember looking at this roomWe loved it ’cause of the light
Now i just sit in the darkAnd wonder if it’s timeDo i throw out everythingWe built or keep it?
I’m getting tired even for a phoenixAlways rising from the ashesMending all her gashesYou might just have dealt the final blow
Stop, you’re losing meStop, you’re losing meStop, you’re losing meI can’t find a pulse
My heart won’t start anymoreFor you‘Cause you’re losing me
Every morning i glared at youWith storms in my eyesHow can you say thatYou love someoneYou can’t tell is dying?
I sent you signals andBit my nails down to the quickMy face was grayBut you wouldn’t admit that we were sick
And the air is thickWith loss and indecisionI know my pain is such an impositionNow, you’re running down the hallway
And you know what they all sayYou don’t knowWhat you got until it’s gone
Stop, you’re losing meStop, you’re losing meStop, you’re losing meI can’t find a pulse
My heart won’t start anymoreFor you‘Cause you’re losing me‘Cause you’re losing me
Stop ’cause you’re losing meMy heart won’t start anymore‘Cause you’re losing meMy heart won’t start anymore‘Cause you’re losing me
How long could we be a sad song‘Til we were too far goneTo bring back to life?I gave you all my best me’sMy endless empathy
And all i did was bleed asI tried to be the bravest soldierFighting in only your armyFrontlines don’t you ignore meI’m the best thing at this partyYou’re losing me
And i wouldn’t marry me eitherA pathological people pleaserWho only wanted you to see herAnd i’m fading thinking
Do something, babe say something..Lose something, babe risk somethingYou’re losing meChoose something, babe i got nothing..To believe, unless you’re choosing me
You’re losing meStop.. you’re losing meStop.. you’re losing meI can’t find a pulseMy heart won’t start anymore
