Story Behind The Song
I was holding on to a long-distance relationship that was slipping away. I had a sense of foreboding, but didn't want to consciously admit that anything was wrong. But in the end, it was unavoidable. It still hurts, but you get to that point where you know it's over.

Lyrics
I'm losing you
what can I do
but sing the blues
why should I cry
will my tears fall on you
and melt your heart
'til there's just the part
that used to love me
you used to love me
but now that's changed
I guess I'm to blame
cuz I'm losing you
what can I do
but sing the blues
why should I cry
If I even try
to change your mind
you'll just get mad
I'll feel twice as bad
and you still won't love me
you used to love me
there's no letting go
but now I know
that I'm losing you
what can I do
but sing the blues
why should I cry
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
