Losing
Sweet Water Lyrics

It was cold that night when you sang your song
The night they met was uncomfortable for the singer, and the other person tried to charm them with a song.

It didn't take you long to put me away
The other person was not interested in getting to know the singer and dismissed them quickly.

Something about you bothered me
The singer had a gut feeling that the other person was not trustworthy or likable.

I didn't like you, I didn't want to stay
The artist had negative feelings towards the other person and did not want to continue the interaction.

But you took me by the arm
The other person physically forced the artist to stay and interact with them.

You bit me and told me to stay calm
The other person used aggressive physical behavior and intimidation to keep the singer from leaving, creating fear in the singer's mind.

Ooh are you gonna save me?
The singer is calling out to the other person in a moment of fear and confusion, hoping for someone to come to their rescue.

Ooh you're crazy
The artist recognizes that the other person's behavior is abnormal and potentially dangerous.

I give in
The artist has resigned to their fate and is no longer fighting against the other person's controlling behavior.

Now here I go again
The artist feels a sense of helplessness and resignation as they continue to be controlled by the other person.

I can't see nothing
The singer's view of the situation is clouded by fear and confusion, which makes it difficult for them to make rational decisions.

Goodbye
The artist has given up all hope of escape and is saying goodbye to their old self and former life.

Well, I told myself that I was taking it slow
The singer initially convinced themselves that they were in control of the situation and taking things at a reasonable pace.

While I climbed into your bed
The singer ignored their initial discomfort and went along with the other person's wishes, putting themselves in a vulnerable position.

I bit my lip 'cause I was getting scared
The singer is trying to hide their fear and anxiety, hoping that the other person doesn't realize their true feelings.

I didn't know what you wanted
The artist is confused and uncertain about the other person's true intentions, which adds to their feelings of fear and anxiety.

Then you held me so I couldn't leave
The other person physically restrained the artist, taking their control away and furthering their power over the artist.

You tore my clothes and threw them back at me
The other person is exercising their power by violently undressing the singer and disregarding their dignity.

You kissed me so I could not breathe
The other person is using their physical proximity to control the singer, making it difficult for them to escape or resist.

I'm still losing
The artist recognizes that they are being controlled and manipulated by the other person, with no hope of escape or victory.

I want it all right now
The artist's desperation for control and stability grows as they realize that their situation is not going to improve.

Ain't no sense in waiting long
The artist realizes that they need to act quickly and decisively if they are going to escape their situation.

You know I won't feel you when you're gone, that's right
The singer knows that even after they escape, they will still feel the trauma and pain of their experiences with the other person.

Yeah, I won't feel...
The artist acknowledges that they will never be the same after their experiences with the other person, and that their trauma will stay with them forever.
