Losing You Lyrics

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Losing you will be the hardest thing to do
My heart is open like an open book, and yours is closed
I never thought it would be like this
So how do we move on?

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Remember long walks, sandy beaches, all those swims together?
We were like a merry-go-round going around in circles
You said we'll always be together
But you weren't telling the truth
You were telling lies

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Pick up the phone, give me a call, and talk to me
It shouldn't have been like this
I can't take it no more

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Losing you will be the hardest thing to do
My heart is open like an open book, and yours is closed
I never thought it would be like this
So how do we move on?

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

Pick up the phone, give me a call, and talk to me
It shouldn't have been like this
I can't take it no more

I don't wanna lose you tonight
You're the only thing that matters
I don't wanna lose you this way
Just need your love

I don't wanna lose you tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In "Losing You", Jan Terri expresses her never-ending love for her unnamed lover, who decides to break up their relationship. It has been speculated in past years as to why he had left her. Some say that her hectic travel-ridden schedule (as implied by her music video) prevented the couple from developing genuine intimacy. Others claim that the breakup was due to Terri's horrible fashion sense (she uses her belt as a bra in the video). But from analyzing her poem in depth, it can be concluded that Terri's lover was simply fed up with her nagging, which is apparent from the fact that she repeats the chorus, "I don't wanna lose you tonight / You're the only thing that matters / I don't wanna lose you this way / Just need your love" a total of ten times throughout her song.

Fans of Imogen Heap will immediately find the parallels between "Losing You" and Heap's single, "Hide and Seek." Both songs deal with the incredible hardships that come with a love relationship. Yet, while Heap utilizes a Vocoder to enhance her voice, which consequently coats her song with a sense of artificiality, Terri refrains from using such tools. Instead, Terri retains the natural authenticity of her heartfelt emotions, accentuating the tragedy of her desperation to win back the heart of the man whom she loved.
