Lyrically, the song finds Lavigne expressing her feelings about being betrayed and ignored by someone she loved, but ultimately realizing she is better off without them in her life.
The song starts off with feelings of sadness and confusing as to why this person doesn’t support her as she would like them to. It then transitions into her expressing that she shouldn’t care about the relationship and expressing her hatred towards this person on how hurt she was by this person.
Losing Grip
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
That's when I decided
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place?
When you turn around can you recognize my face?
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care then
I don't care
We're not going anywhere
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care then
I don't care
We're not going anywhere

She then confronts him in the chorus, stating that he was not there for her when she needed him the most, and is starting to lose control of things alone. She repeats this sentiment in the second verse, describing how she feels like she is only a replacement for someone else and that everything is not okay. The chorus repeats three times, with variations in the final line that suggest the end of their relationship.
