Every whispered word you spoke Felt like a feather light brush stroke On the paintings my heart hoped Would come to life some day All the plans we dreamed about We’d imagine them out loud All in colour, oh but now I watch them fade away
[Chorus:] Ooh if I was only losing you Goodbye wouldn’t be so brutal It would be almost easy But we built castles in the clouds We planned a thousand futures out Now you’re packing up and leaving With every dream that never came true Ooh wish I was only losing you
Your whole family, our friends Don’t know what I’ll do without them That perfect dress that I will never wear The nights that we will never share The laughter that you used to save for me
[Chorus]
The girl I was with you, was my best self Now I’m watching her become someone else
[Chorus]
With every dream that never came true Ooh wish I was only losing you
