Released only on CD, exclusively available to purchase at Swift’s The Eras Tour, “You’re Losing Me” is a From The Vault track of her tenth studio album, Midnights. The track was also available to purchase for 24 hours on Taylor’s website, but isn’t available on any streaming platforms yet.

The song is rumoured to be detailing Swift’s point of view in the breakup of her six-year long relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn.

Interestingly, “You’re Losing Me” is also the second song on Swift’s discography to feature the sample of her own heartbeat — the first time she did it was on her 2014 single, “Wildest Dreams.”

Taylor Swift's "You're Losing Me" Lyrics Might Explain Her Split With Joe AlwynThe song’s big question: “Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?”

L y r i c s

[Verse 1]

You say, "I don't understand," and I say, "I know you don't"

We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't

Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light

Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time

[Pre-Chorus]

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?

I'm getting tired even for a phoenix

Always risin' from the ashes

Mendin' all her gashes

You might just have dealt the final blow

[Chorus]

Stop, you're losin' me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore for you

'Cause you're losin' me

[Verse 2]

Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes

How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?

I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick

My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick

[Pre-Chorus]

And the air is thick with loss and indecision

I know my pain is such an imposition

Now, you're runnin' down the hallway

And you know what they all say

"You don't know what you got until it's gone"

[Chorus]

Stop, you're losin' me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore for you

'Cause you're losin' me

Stop (Stop) 'cause you're losin' me

[Post-Chorus]

My heart won't start anymore

(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)

My heart won't start anymore

(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)

[Bridge]

How long could we be a sad song

'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?

I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don't you ignore me

I'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me)

And I wouldn't marry me either

A pathological people pleaser

Who only wanted you to see her

And I'm fadin', thinkin'

"Do something, babe, say something" (Say something)

"Lose something, babe, risk something" (You're losin' me)

"Choose something, babe, I got nothing" (I got nothing)

"To believe, unless you're choosin' me"

[Outro]

You're losin' me

Stop (Stop, stop), you're losin' me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore
