Lose You
Embracing Love's Battle: William Shewfelt's 'Lose You' Revelations
Lyrics
I know you're falling-falling for me
I acknowledge that you are developing feelings for me.
I hear you calling-I'm on my knees
I hear your emotional call, and I am humbly expressing my openness.
I don't want to lose you-yeah
Expressing a desire not to lose the person.
I don't want to make you stay
Indicating a willingness to let the person go if that's what they want.
I don't want to lose you, again
Reiterating the fear of losing the person again.
But I can't keep holding on
Acknowledging difficulty in holding on to the relationship.
I don't want to lose you-yeah
Repeating the desire not to lose the person.
I know I can't make you stay
Acknowledging the inability to force the person to stay.
I don't want to lose you, tonight
Expressing a fear of losing the person on the current night.
But I can't keep holding on
Reiterating the challenge of holding on to the relationship.
I'm in the dark I don't know who's loving you
Feeling uncertain about who the person is currently in love with.
Can't see eye to eye, cuz we got different views
Highlighting a lack of mutual understanding due to differing perspectives.
I tried to hold on tight but I'm losing you
Effort to maintain the relationship is weakening.
You tried to let go, but I can't let you
While the person tried to let go, there's difficulty in reciprocating.
We can make it work whatever it takes
Expressing a commitment to making the relationship work, whatever it takes.
Let's forget our past mistakes, yeah
Suggesting a desire to move past previous mistakes.
Let's turn over a new leaf and forget the past
Advocating for a fresh start, leaving the past behind.
Cuz now we're on the same team
Stating a belief in being on the same team now.
I don't want to lose you-yeah
Repetition of the desire not to lose the person.
I don't want to make you stay
Reiterating a willingness to let the person stay if they choose.
I don't want to lose you, again
Repeating the fear of losing the person again.
But I can't keep holding on
Acknowledging difficulty in holding on to the relationship.
I don't want to lose you-yeah
Expressing the desire not to lose the person once again.
I know I can't make you stay
Acknowledging the inability to force the person to stay.
I don't want to lose you, tonight
Expressing a fear of losing the person on the current night.
But I can't keep holding on
Reiterating the challenge of holding on to the relationship.
New love, old love I can't hold on
Feeling torn between new and old love, struggling to hold on.
I can't help it when I see you with no clothes on
Expressing difficulty controlling attraction when seeing the person without clothes.
I can't stop it, I can't help it
Admitting inability to stop or control the intense feelings.
I gotta have you, like I want to-yeah
Desire for the person is strong and specific.
You give me everything I need and more
Acknowledging the person provides everything needed and more.
I don't need nobody else when you walk through the door
Declaring independence from others when the person is present.
It's just me and you, talking bout all night
Emphasizing a deep, prolonged conversation between the two.
Me and you together, making it all night
Expressing unity and commitment to spending the entire night together.
