I Was Losing You

(album: Fried Green Tomatoes - 2000)

I should have noticed this when
You started turning up in sad songs
It should have hit me when
You began to sing along
I should have realized when
There were tears in your eyes
Every time a song was through
It was more than the music
I was losing you

I should have seen it when
You started watching those late, late movies
And you'd sleep on the couch
Instead of sleeping next to me
When I'd wake up in the night
Sometimes I'd hear you cry
But, baby, I never knew
It was more than the movies
I was losing you

I wish you had screamed
And yelled out the things you held deep inside
'Cause I never dreamed
That our love was dying right before my eyes

But I should have felt it on
Those too few nights I held you
Oh, I should have known
All those whispers weren't true
There was a reason why you never looked in my eyes
And it breaks my heart in two
When you were making love to me
I was losing you
When you were making love to me
I was losing you
