Like I'm Gonna Lose You
Meghan Trainor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows

We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer, baby (hey)
Any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets

Let's take our time to say what we want (say what we want)
Use what we got before it's all gone (all gone)
'Cause no (no), we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you (lose you)
I'm gonna hold you (hey) like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing (yeah)
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

So I'm gonna love (I'm gonna love you) you like I'm gonna lose you (like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna love you (love you) like I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you (oh, like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time





So I'm gonna love (I'm gonna love you) you like I'm gonna lose you (like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna love you (love you) like I'm gonna lose you

My imagination created a perfect image, similar to that of a romantic film

Like I'm Gonna Lose You
Seperti Aku Akan Kehilangan Kamu
- Meghan Trainor (ft. John Legend)-

I found myself dreaming
Saya menemukan diri saya bermimpi

It's over and gone
Sudah berakhir dan pergi
 
Like a scene from a movie
Seperti adegan dari film

That every broken heart knows
Bahwa setiap patah hati tahu

We were walking on moonlight
Kami berjalan di bawah sinar bulan

And you pulled me close
Dan Anda menarik saya mendekat 

Split second and you disappeared
Berpisah kedua dan Anda menghilang
 
And then I was all alone
Dan kemudian aku sendirian

I woke up in tears
Saya bangun menangis 

With you by my side
Dengan Anda di sisiku 
 
A breath of relief 
Nafas lega

And I realized
Dan saya sadar 
 
No, we're not promised tomorrow
Tidak, kami tidak berjanji besok

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you 
Jadi aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu 

And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Dan aku akan memelukmu seperti aku mengucapkan selamat tinggal 

Wherever we're standing
Dimanapun kita berdiri
 
I won't take you for granted
Saya tidak akan menerima Anda begitu saja 
 
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
Karena kita tidak akan pernah tahu kapan, kapan kita akan kehabisan waktu

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Jadi aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu 
 
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu

In the blink of an eye
Dalam sekejap mata 

Just a whisper of smoke 
Hanya bisikan asap

You could lose everything
Anda bisa kehilangan segalanya 
 
The truth is you never know
Yang benar adalah Anda tidak pernah tahu

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Jadi aku akan menciummu lagi sayang
 
Any chance that I get
Setiap peluang yang saya dapatkan

I'll make the most of the minutes
Saya akan membuat sebagian besar menit 
 
And love with no regrets
Dan cinta tanpa penyesalan

Let's take our time to say what we want
Mari kita luangkan waktu untuk mengatakan apa yang kita inginkan

Here's what we got before it's all gone 
Inilah yang kami dapatkan sebelum semuanya hilang

'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow
Karena tidak, kita tidak dijanjikan besok

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Jadi aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu 
 
I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Aku akan memelukmu seperti aku mengucapkan selamat tinggal 

Wherever we're standing
Dimanapun kita berdiri 
 
I won't take you for granted
Saya tidak akan menerima Anda begitu saja 
 
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
Karena kita tidak akan pernah tahu kapan, kapan kita akan kehabisan waktu

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Jadi aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu 

I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Aku akan memelukmu seperti aku mengucapkan selamat tinggal 

Wherever we're standing 
Dimanapun kita berdiri 

I won't take you for granted 
Saya tidak akan menerima Anda begitu saja 

'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
Karena kita tidak akan pernah tahu kapan, kapan kita akan kehabisan waktu

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Jadi aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu 
 
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Aku akan mencintaimu seperti aku akan kehilanganmu

With you by my side
A breath of relief

I won’t take you for granted ’cause we’ll never know when
When we’ll run out of time so I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you

My husband really love this song and he can listen to this for hours, sadly he passed way 2 years ago, and it was always played on the radio after his passing, it makes me emotional everytine I hear this song. We’ve married for 15 years..but everytime I watch this video, it always makes me 😭

I used to sing this to myself while I cared for my dad in his last years, and again, now for my mum.... there's all sorts of love and they all matter. Life is precious. Soak it up. :D
