Lose Myself
Post Precious Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I barely grieve you
But still your presence shakes me cold
Don't wanna see you, please don't go, go, go

I never should've let you down
Never would've come around if I'd have known you'd be here with her now
I never should've let you down
Never would've come around if I'd have known it doesn't matter now

Oh I lose
Yeah I lose myself
Can't help but giving into the feeling
Yeah I lose
Did I choose this hell?
I'm drowning in the wake of ya healing
I force it down
I force it down

Weight off my shoulder
But you still show a heavy ghost
And though I'm older I've not grown, grown, grown

I never should've let you down
Never would've come around if I'd have known you'd be here with her now
I never should've let you down
Never would've come around if I'd have known it doesn't matter now

Oh I lose
Yeah I lose myself
Can't help but giving into the feeling
Yeah I lose
Did I choose this hell
I'm drowning in the wake of ya healing

I'm clutching at the chances that we lost or wasted
Who was I to think you'd be the one left waiting
Oh I lose
Yeah I lose myself
Can't help but giving into the feeling

Who would have thought that I'd (I)
Be the one to fall into false highs (high)
When it never was anything but fine
Let's call it goodnight

Oh I lose
Yeah I lose myself
Can't help but giving into the feeling
Yeah I lose
Did I choose this hell
I'm drowning in the wake of your healing
I'm clutching at the chances that we lost or wasted
Who was I to think you'd be the one left waiting
Oh I lose
Yeah I lose myself
Can't help but giving into the feeling

I force it down
I force it down

Line by Line Meaning

I barely grieve you
I don't feel a deep sense of mourning for you

But still your presence shakes me cold
Even though I'm not deeply affected by your absence, being around you still sends chills down my spine

Don't wanna see you, please don't go, go, go
I don't want to be near you and I wish you would leave

I never should've let you down
I betrayed your trust in some way

Never would've come around if I'd have known you'd be here with her now
If I had known you would be with someone else now, I never would have come around to see you

Never would've come around if I'd have known it doesn't matter now
If I had known that my actions were meaningless in the end, I wouldn't have bothered coming around to see you

Oh I lose
I'm being defeated or overwhelmed

Yeah I lose myself
I'm losing control of who I am

Can't help but giving into the feeling
I can't resist the emotions that are overwhelming me

Did I choose this hell?
Did I willingly make this situation worse for myself?

I'm drowning in the wake of ya healing
Your attempts to move on from me are causing me to struggle and suffer

I force it down
I try to suppress my emotions

Weight off my shoulder
I feel relieved or freed in some way

But you still show a heavy ghost
Despite my relief, you still haunt me and I can't shake you

And though I'm older I've not grown, grown, grown
I've aged, but I haven't matured past this situation

I'm clutching at the chances that we lost or wasted
I'm desperately holding onto the opportunities we missed out on or didn't take advantage of

Who was I to think you'd be the one left waiting
I was foolish to assume that you would be waiting around for me

Let's call it goodnight
Let's end this and say goodbye
