Losing It Over You
MATOMA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if you're alone now
Or if you found someone that you can spend the night with
Maybe I should go and find someone too
Would you pick up the phone right now
Or do you still fall asleep with it on silent?
The way that you used to do

When we were one foot in and one foot out

I know that I let you go but I miss you now
All the things I should've said but I didn't know how
I know that I let you go but I miss you now

And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you

(Don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you

Maybe this is bad timing
And you probably think that I'm selfish for trying
To pick up emotions that we buried ages ago
I thought you'd always come and find me
Some clever way to convince me I should
Come back to you and I would, I would

One foot in and one foot out
I know that I let you go but I miss you now
All the things I should've said but I didn't know how
I know that I let you go but I miss you now

And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you

(Don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(Now I'm losing it over you)

And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie

So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MATOMA's song “Losing It Over You” seem to explore the emotions and thoughts of a person who is struggling with a past relationship that didn't work out. The singer seems to have some regrets regarding the relationship and is reflecting on what could have been if things had gone differently. The first two stanzas speak of the possibility of the singer’s ex being with someone new and the internal conflict it causes for the singer who is tempted to move on too. However, the singer admits to missing their ex, acknowledging that they had failed to communicate their feelings adequately. These regrets only intensify the singer’s frustration as they lose grip over their emotions and become increasingly irrational.

The song's chorus repeats the phrase "losing it over you," emphasizing that the singer is unable to move on from their past relationship. The singer goes on to admit they lied to their ex and expresses fear of what they could have done differently. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, once again highlighting the pain of losing someone important to the singer, the regret of not expressing themselves better, and the dread of what could have been, leading to their current emotional turmoil.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't know if you're alone now
Not sure if you're lonely or with someone

Or if you found someone that you can spend the night with
Wondering if you've moved on and found someone new

Maybe I should go and find someone too
Thinking about looking for someone to fill the void

Would you pick up the phone right now
Wondering if you would answer the phone if I called

Or do you still fall asleep with it on silent?
Thinking about whether you still keep your phone on silent like you used to

When we were one foot in and one foot out
Remembering when we were caught between being together and being apart

I know that I let you go but I miss you now
Regretting letting you go and missing you

All the things I should've said but I didn't know how
Realizing I should have expressed my feelings but didn't know how to

And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
Feeling like I'm losing control and going crazy

First to admit that you could be mine
Recognizing that you could have been mine if things were different

It's so unlike me to do
Admitting that this behavior isn't normal for me

But I'm losing it over you
Becoming overwhelmed with emotions because of you

I'd go back, back to the night
Wanting to go back to a specific moment in the past

Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
Remembering when I lied to you instead of telling you the truth

So scared of what I would do
Being afraid of how I would handle the truth

Now I'm losing it over you
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions because of you in the present

Maybe this is bad timing
Realizing that this may not be the best time to express my feelings

And you probably think that I'm selfish for trying
Believing that you may think I'm being selfish for trying to reconnect

To pick up emotions that we buried ages ago
Acknowledging that we suppressed our feelings a long time ago

I thought you'd always come and find me
Expecting you to reach out to me instead of the other way around

LOSING IT OVER YOU LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I don't know if you're alone now or if you found
Someone that you can spend the night with
Maybe I should go and find someone too?
Would you pick up the phone right now
Or do you still fall asleep with it on silent?
The way that you used to do

[Pre-Chorus]
When we were one foot in and one foot out
I know that I let you go but I miss you now
All the things I should've said but I didn't know how
I know that I let you go but I miss you now

[Chorus]
And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you

[Post-Chorus]
(Don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you

[Verse 2]
Maybe this is bad timing and you
Probably think that I'm selfish for trying
To pick up emotions that we buried ages ago, mm
I thought you'd always come and find me
Some type of way to convince me I should
Come back to you and I would, I would

[Pre-Chorus]
One foot in and one foot out
I know that I let you go but I miss you now
All the things I should've said but I didn't know how
I know that I let you go but I miss you now

[Chorus]
And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you

[Post-Chorus]
(Don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
Now I'm losing it over you
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(I don't wanna lose you)
(I don't wanna lose you, I don't, I don't)
(Now I'm losing it over you)

And I'm losing my grip, losing my mind
First to admit that you could be mine
It's so unlike me to do
But I'm losing it over you
I'd go back, back to the night
Asked for the truth and I told you a lie
So scared of what I would do
Now I'm losing it over you.......

Some of the most powerful lyrics I have ever heard. Absolutely amazing. Most underrated song I've come across on youtube to be totally honest. I found this song by just playing around on youtube and I'm irritated I didn't find this song sooner.
