I Was Losing You All Along

Could I have done something?
Would you have stayed?
I think day one was already too late
I slept right through it, and I never knew
That I was losing you all along

Our promises weighed in the same, ounce for ounce
But none of it stayed in, so none of it counts
While I was waiting while you were away
I was losing you all along

There were things I listened to but sounded wrong
Things I could have noticed that were so strong
But at the time seemed like almost nothing
And you told me not to worry about 'em, and time went on
But I was losing you all along

The east is red
(The rest is blue)
Revenge is sweet
(And so are you)
Just another thing to do
Somebody strings someone along
Someone looking at it wrong
They're seeing me and you
The way I must have wanted to
While I was losing you all along

And I wonder if I knew, could something have been done?
There could have been chances, but now they're gone
Just like you, they wouldn't stay still
And I picture you counting the days 'til I'd be gone
While I was losing you all along

[Guitar lead]

And I never know what I'm gonna turn into
All I know is that I've been too often wrong
I was losing you all along
