Understanding the Lyrics – Like I’m Gonna Lose You

I’m back with another song that has been stuck in my head/speaking to me lately.

Understanding the Lyrics - Lose You by Meghan Trainor

I honestly have a love-hate relationship with this song.

I know that the overall ideal is that this is a loving committed relationship that neither wants to see end and the “we’re not promised tomorrow” is that one of them could die.

Lyrics from Like I'm Gonna Lose You - In the blink of an eye, Just a whisper of smoke, You could lose everything The truth is you never known. So I'll kiss you longer, baby, Any chance that I get, I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets.

However…..

It also brings up memories of relationships past when one is holding on to something that is clearly slipping away. Which was for the best as time would tell, but hella painful in the midst. I often identified more with “I’m going to love you with all I have right now, because you might choose to leave tomorrow.”

Lyrics from Like I'm Gonna Lose You - I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you; I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye. Wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted, 'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time.

Maybe I’m the only one.

Like I’m Gonna Lose You

Meghan Trainor

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows

We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we’re not promised tomorrow

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna hold you like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I’ll kiss you longer, baby (hey)
Any chance that I get
I’ll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets

Let’s take our time to say what we want (say what we want)
Use what we got before it’s all gone (all gone
‘Cause no (no), we’re not promised tomorrow

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you (lose you)
I’m gonna hold you (hey) like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing (yeah)
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love (I’m gonna love you) you like I’m gonna lose you (like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna love you (love you) like I’m gonna lose you

I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you (oh, like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna hold you like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love (I’m gonna love you) you like I’m gonna lose you (like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna love you (love you) like I’m gonna lose you
