Every whispered word you spoke

Felt like a feather-light brushstroke

We'd imagine them out loud

Em Cadd9 G

All in colour oh but now

I watch them fade away

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,

D Am

And every dream that never came true,

C G

Oooh wish I was only losing you,

[Verse 2]

Your whole family are friends,

The love that I get used to seeing
