Lose You
Preserving Love Through Life's Storms
Lyrics
There's a woman at a table, keeps looking at her phone
Observing a woman at a table, preoccupied with her phone.
And the fella sitting with her looks like he'd rather be alone
The man with her seems disinterested, possibly wanting to be alone.
They're hanging on by a thread and that thread's about to go
Their relationship is strained, hanging by a thread on the verge of breaking.
This might not need to be said but I just wanna let you know
The singer feels the need to express something important.
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna let you go
Expressing a desire to avoid conflicts and not lose the partner.
Baby, I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you (lose you)
The fear of experiencing the pain of losing the partner is expressed.
Oh, 'cause people break up, fall in and outta love
Acknowledging the commonality of breakups but expressing determination to stay together.
But giving this up is something I just won't do (won't do)
Emphasizing the singer's unwillingness to give up on the relationship.
And I don't wanna give you a reason to leave me
Not wanting to provide a reason for the partner to leave.
Watch you drive off in the night
Imagining the pain of watching the partner leave at night.
I never wanna feel that freedom that people say they find
Rejecting the idea of experiencing the freedom that comes with being single.
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Reiterating the desire to remain oblivious to the feeling of losing the partner.
I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you (to lose you)
Repeating the fear of knowing what it's like to lose the partner.
Yeah, I know I'm gonna say things that should never leave my mouth
Acknowledging the likelihood of saying hurtful things in challenging moments.
When your world's flying off the handle, I'll try keep you on the ground
Committing to providing support during difficult times.
It won't always be roses even though you deserve 'em
Acknowledging that the relationship won't always be perfect.
I wanna make sure you know that what we got is worth it
Stressing the value of the relationship despite challenges.
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna let you go
Reiterating the desire to avoid conflicts and separations.
Baby, I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you
Expressing the fear of knowing the pain of losing the partner.
Oh, 'cause people break up, fall in and outta love
Recognizing the commonality of relationship fluctuations but pledging commitment.
But giving this up is something I just won't do
Stating the determination not to give up on the relationship.
And I don't wanna give you a reason to leave me
Emphasizing the commitment to avoid giving reasons for separation.
Watch you drive off in the night
Imagining the pain of watching the partner drive away at night.
I never wanna feel that freedom that people say they find
Rejecting the desire for the perceived freedom of being single.
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Reiterating the fear of knowing the feeling of losing the partner.
I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you, yeah
Repeating the fear of experiencing the pain of losing the partner.
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Emphasizing the reluctance to know the feeling of losing the partner.
And I don't wanna wind up like that
Expressing the desire to avoid ending up in a troubled relationship.
Baby, I just wanna make this last
Stating the singer's wish to make the relationship last.
And if we don't watch it it could happen fast
Highlighting the potential rapid decline of the relationship if not careful.
Put me over us, puts you in the past
Warning against prioritizing individual desires over the relationship.
And I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Reiterating the fear of knowing the feeling of losing the partner.
I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you
Repeating the fear of experiencing the pain of losing the partner.
People break up, fall in and outta love
Acknowledging the commonality of breakups but reiterating the commitment.
Baby, giving this up is something I just won't do, oh
Stressing the determination not to give up on the relationship.
And I don't wanna give you a reason to leave me
Emphasizing the commitment to avoid providing reasons for separation.
Watch you drive off in the night
Imagining the pain of watching the partner drive away at night.
I never wanna feel that freedom that people say they find
Rejecting the desire for the perceived freedom of being single.
And I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
Reiterating the fear of knowing the feeling of losing the partner.
I don't wanna know what it's like to lose you
Repeating the fear of experiencing the pain of losing the partner.
