Losing Me
Choosing Self-Worth Over Lost Love
Lyrics
I can’t break my heart to love you
The singer is unwilling to hurt themselves emotionally to love the person addressed in the song.
And that’s just what it would be
Expresses that loving the addressed person would cause the singer emotional pain.
I don’t wanna lose,
The singer doesn't want to lose something important.
and I’m already losing sleep.
The singer is losing sleep over the situation, indicating distress and anxiety.
I can’t put myself below you,
Refusing to prioritize the addressed person above oneself.
Following upon your breeze
Not willing to blindly follow the addressed person's influence.
I don’t wanna lose, just so you could use my love, so you’re losing-
Rejecting the idea of losing oneself for the sake of the other person's use of love.
I won’t- I won’t do it- breaking my back for you
Firmly refusing to sacrifice oneself or work excessively hard for the addressed person.
I know- I know you and you don’t mean harm, but I’m dry while
Recognizing the good intentions of the addressed person but feeling emotionally drained.
You are- you are full of all that you wanted while
Contrasting the addressed person's fulfillment with the singer's emptiness.
I am- I am left with nothing but tears in my eyes,
Feeling left with nothing but tears while the addressed person achieves their desires.
As you cross the finish line
The addressed person succeeds while the singer is left behind.
I won’t bring myself to give you
Resisting the urge to give everything when the singer is struggling.
All my air when I can’t breathe;
Metaphorically explaining the difficulty of providing support when the singer feels suffocated.
I don’t wanna lose just so I can win your love, cuz that’s no victory.
Refusing to sacrifice oneself to gain the love of the addressed person as it won't feel like a victory.
I won’t use my love to light you,
Not willing to use love as a tool to support the addressed person.
Framing you the way you need, no,
Rejecting the idea of molding oneself solely for the addressed person's benefit.
I’m not gonna lose, I’m not gonna lose myself, so you’re losing-
Asserting the importance of not losing oneself while the other person may lose the singer.
I won’t- I won’t do it- breaking my back for you
Reiterating the refusal to sacrifice oneself or overexert for the addressed person.
I know- I know you and you don’t mean harm, but I’m dry while
Understanding the addressed person's lack of harmful intentions but feeling emotionally drained in contrast.
You are- you are full of all that you wanted while
Highlighting the contrast between the addressed person's fulfillment and the singer's emptiness.
I am- I am left with nothing but tears in my eyes,
Expressing the emotional pain of being left with tears while the addressed person achieves their goals.
As you cross the finish line,
Reiterating the addressed person's success as the singer falls behind.
But now I'm not so far behind.
The singer is catching up to the addressed person but still not in a leading position.
I'm not gonna lose, I'm not gonna lose myself, so you're losing me.
Firmly stating the resolution not to lose oneself, even if it means the addressed person will lose the singer.
