All I'm Doing Is Losing

You don’t know how close you came

You know I think of you as mine

But what we had you’ll have again

And don’t think that I won’t mind

I waited at the airport gate

Till your plane began to move

Then I couldn’t stand it anymore

So I walked away from you

That’s when I walked away from you

And if you believe I‚m gaining a friend

You’ll believe anything

All I’m doing is losing

I loved being held on that corner

I miss the dream from which I’ve awoken

You made me feel both lost and home

Now all I feel is broken

All the places we hid love

All the places we let it flourish

All the rubbish that I spoke

Hoping you wouldn’t notice

And if you believe I’m gaining a friend

You’ll believe anything

All I’m doing is losing

When you called me from New York

you sounded so far away

It wasn’t distance put to good use

Like when we looked over L.A.

At least I’ve had such moments

Been held to the sound of waves

Stars appearing over the ocean

But you were always slipping away

You were always slipping away

And if you believe I’m gaining a friend

You’ll believe anything

All I’m doing is losing
