Losing Myself Loving You

Verse 1:

Every day I hold the pieces

Try to keep it standing tall

You talk about the life we’re building

But nothing’s changing here at all

You’ve got answers in the distance

Somewhere I can’t follow through

I’m down here living in the real world

Trying to make it work for two

Verse 2:

I’m so tired I don’t feel like me now

Wearing thin in everything I do

You call it change, something spiritual

But it don’t feel like healing coming through

Feels like I’m fading in the background

Of a life I don’t recognize

While you’re chasing something out there

I’m just trying to survive

Chorus:

I love you, but I’m losing myself

Trying to do it all for you

Reaching out with empty hands

There’s only so much I can do

I need you here beside me now

Not somewhere I can’t get to

I love you, but I’m losing me

Trying to hold on to you

Verse 3:

I’ve been patient, I’ve been understanding

Given more than I had left

But love shouldn’t feel this one-sided

Or leave me this damn spent

I don’t need a grand solution

I don’t need a perfect plan

Just someone willing to stand beside me

And mean it when they say they can

Bridge:

I’ve tried to wait, I’ve tried to believe

Things would change eventually

But hope alone won’t carry this

And it’s getting hard to breathe

Final Chorus:

I love you, but I’m losing myself

Trying to do it all for you

Reaching out with empty hands

There’s only so much I can do

I need you here beside me now

Not somewhere I can’t get to

I love you… but I’m losing me

Trying to hold on to you

Outro:

If love costs me who I am

What are we holding onto?
