All I'm Doing is Losing
Love's Departure: A Melancholic Journey through Loss
Lyrics
You don't know how close you came
You were very close to realizing something.
You know, I think of you as mine
I consider you as belonging to me in some way.
But what we had, you'll have again
What we shared in the past, you will experience again.
And don't think that I won't mind
I will be affected, don't assume I won't be hurt.
I waited at the airport gate
I waited for your departure at the airport.
Til your plane began to move
Until your plane started moving.
Then I couldn't stand it anymore
The separation became unbearable for me.
So I walked away from you
I decided to distance myself from you.
That's when I walked away from you
This marks the moment I walked away from our connection.
And if you believe I'm gaining a friend
If you think I'm forming a new friendship.
You'll believe anything
Your belief in that would be gullible.
All I'm doing is losing
All I'm experiencing is a series of losses.
All I'm doing is losing
Reiteration of the continuous losses I'm facing.
I loved being held on that corner
I enjoyed being in your arms on that street corner.
I miss the dream from which I've awoken
I miss the illusions I had before waking up to reality.
You made me feel both lost and home
You made me feel both disoriented and comforted.
Now all I feel is broken
Now, I only feel shattered and damaged.
All the places we had loved
All the places we once cherished.
All the places we let it flourish
Where we allowed our relationship to thrive.
All the rubbish that I spoke
The nonsense I spoke, hoping you wouldn't notice.
Hoping you wouldn't notice
Trying to hide my flaws from you.
Hoping you wouldn't notice
Repetition of hoping you wouldn't notice.
And if you believe I'm gaining a friend
If you think I'm making a new friend.
You'll believe anything
Your trust in that would be misplaced.
All I'm doing is losing
All I'm facing is a continuous string of losses.
All I'm doing is losing
Reiteration of the ongoing losses I'm enduring.
When you called me from new york
You called me from New York.
You sounded so far away
You sounded emotionally distant.
Wasn't distance put to good use
Didn't the physical distance serve a purpose?
Like when we looked over L.A.?
Similar to when we admired Los Angeles together?
At least I've had such moments
At least I have cherished moments.
Being held to the sound of waves
Being comforted by the sound of waves.
Stars appearing over the ocean
Stars emerging over the ocean.
But you were always slipping away
However, you were always slipping away from me.
You were always slipping away
Repetition emphasizing your constant detachment.
And if you believe I'm gaining a friend
If you think I'm forming a new friendship.
You'll believe anything
Your belief in that would be unfounded.
All I'm doing is losing
All I'm going through is a persistent series of losses.
All I'm doing is losing
Reiteration of the ongoing losses I'm enduring.
