Losing You
AM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dead of the night
As the candles die out
I'm watching her going to sleep
She has to be strong
She's left all along
I have to go out in the fields

You're all I ever wanted

And I can't go on without you
But some things come between us,
My love

Words cannot express
The sorrow I feel
I wish I could turn back time
To where we began
Where love had no end
And you and me were as one

You're all I ever wanted
There's just pain without you
Hear the angels cry in heaven, my love

I'm scared I might be losing you
and I don't know which way to turn
I fell I might be losing you
I can't live my life without your love

The sound of your breath

The smell of your hair

The touch of your golden skin

They keep me awake

Through out every night
To think of what might have been
You're all I ever wanted
You're my life and my lust
I could never mean to hurt you, my love

I have fought so many battles
I have suffered so much pain




Without you to love and hold me
All of this would be in vain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to AM's song Losing You express the singer's deep despair and desperation for love. The song depicts a couple in bed as they prepare to sleep, but it's apparent that one of them - the singer - is feeling troubled. The first verse sets the scene by giving a description of the night, with candles dying out, and the singer watching his lover go to sleep. However, the mood quickly turns somber as the singer reveals that he has to go out into the fields, leaving his lover behind. He is torn between his love and his obligations, and some things come between them, causing him great pain.


In the chorus of the song, the singer expresses his love for his partner and his inability to go on without them. He wishes to turn back time to when they were as one and love had no end. It's clear that the relationship has taken a turn for the worse, and the singer is desperate to keep it from ending. The second verse takes on a more emotional tone as the singer talks about the things that keep him up at night. He addresses his partner's importance in his life, describing the sound of their breath, the smell of their hair, and the touch of their skin, all of which he'd miss if they were to part ways. The chorus is repeated, with the singer expressing his fear of losing his partner and his inability to live without their love.


Line by Line Meaning

In the dead of the night
During the darkest hours


As the candles die out
As time passes and things come to an end


I'm watching her going to sleep
Observing her as she falls asleep


She has to be strong
She needs to be resilient


She's left all along
She's alone now


I have to go out in the fields
I need to leave her for a period of time


You're all I ever wanted
You are the love of my life


And I can't go on without you
I cannot survive without your presence


But some things come between us,
There are obstacles in the way of our love


My love
Endearing term used to address the significant other


Words cannot express
I am unable to articulate how I feel


The sorrow I feel
The immense sadness I am experiencing


I wish I could turn back time
I long to go back to the past


To where we began
To the start of our relationship


Where love had no end
To the time when our love was unbounded


And you and me were as one
When we were united


There's just pain without you
Life is unbearable without you


Hear the angels cry in heaven, my love
Expressing how heart-wrenching the separation is


I'm scared I might be losing you
I am afraid of losing you


and I don't know which way to turn
I am unsure where to go or what to do


I fell I might be losing you
I feel like I am losing you


I can't live my life without your love
I cannot exist without your love


The sound of your breath
The noise you make when breathing


The smell of your hair
The fragrance of your hair


The touch of your golden skin
The sensation I feel when I touch you


They keep me awake
They prevent me from sleeping


Through out every night
Every night without fail


To think of what might have been
To ponder what could have happened


You're my life and my lust
My affection for you is all-consuming


I could never mean to hurt you, my love
I would never intentionally cause harm to you


I have fought so many battles
I have overcome many obstacles


I have suffered so much pain
I have endured significant suffering


Without you to love and hold me
Without your affection and support


All of this would be in vain
Everything would be for nothing
