I'm Losing You
Berkeley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help me out, I'm losing touch
Help me out, I'm breaking up
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
And this is my heaven and these are my words
These are my walls, watch them crashing to the floor
You are my release
Help me out, I'm losing out
Help me out, I'm breaking out
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
And this is my heaven and these are my words
These are my walls, watch them crashing to the floor
You are my release




Help me out, I'm losing you
I'm losing you
