Here's Sina E. and Jacob Christofferson on Losing You.

In the blink of an eye I forgot where I was headed to In the spur of the moment I made a bad decision too Now I fear it's gone for good Like the only thing I should Was to take care of the love you handed me There's a tear in your eye as you turn to walk away from me As your hands try to hide what is plain for everyone to see That you fear it's gone for good And the only thing you could You could take back all the love you gave to me And you Silent words in my heart As I tried to comprehend it all Should have known from the start It was a foolish and a bitter call Now I fear you're gone for good Like the only thing I should Was to take care of the love you handed me And I'm losing you And I can't believe it's over Yes, I'm losing you again Yes, I'm losing you No, I can't believe it's over Yes, I'm losing you again

with the rest Of those whose lives are lonely too Romance is mush Stifling load who strive I'll live a lush life in some small dive and there I'll be while I rut with the rest of those whose lives are low

Last time I had you on the show, many, many years ago, We didn't know each other very well.

If we thought a bit about the end of it When we started painting the town We'd have been aware that our love affair was too hard Not to cool down The whole thing we meet now and then It was great fun But it was just one One of those things
