This Losing (Acoustic Series Version) Lyrics

Standing at your doorway
With my stomach all tangled and tight
Have it your way
Oh God, where are you tonight?

Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
Where to begin
Just take a deep breath
Well, darling don't let me

A thousand times we've said
I'm sorry its over again
I can't live like this
Or Feel like this in my own skin

It all seems so degrading
In the morning such sin
Your face is like a child
Well, darling don't let me

And we laugh just like children
And waiting and sheets on your bed
While we secretly pray
Like we're mourning the dead

And you tell me your so weary
I know 'cause I'm weary too
And you hold back a tear
Oh, darling what are we to do?

And the wine, and the rain
And the feel of your skin against mine
I'm swimming, I'm flying
I'm dying, this face

And this fear
Just stay with me
Oh, stay with me my dear
This hand, this glove
This only thing I love

And this losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing
This losing love

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.
