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 Til 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 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 had loved All the places we let it flourish All the rubbish that I spoke Hoping you wouldn't notice Hoping you wouldn't notice And if you believe I'm gaining a friend You'll believe anything All I'm doing is losing All I'm doing is losing When you called me from new york You sounded so far away Wasn't distance put to good use Like when we looked over L.A.? At least I've had such moments Being 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 All I'm doing is losing
