‘Losing’ by H.E.R.

I can’t really explain it to anybody.

“This song has been with me for the past two or three months. She’s talking about feeling like she’s losing someone she’s in a relationship with, and I kind of feel like that too. I’ve been feeling like that for years. Me and my ex have been on and off for a couple of years. He’s dated other people, I’ve dated other people — but we always end up coming back to each other at some point. So, now we’re in the phase of trying to figure out what we’re doing, considering the fact that I’m here in school and he lives in another state. It’s really surreal. There’s times that I thought he was playing games. There’s times that I’ve felt like I don’t know what I’m doing. I feel like I’m losing him. There’s times that he’s felt like he was losing me and there’s nothing we can really do about it just because of the distance. It is what it is. I don’t know — we connect so well on so many things, and we understand each other on so many levels. I can’t really explain it to anybody.”

Wanna get closer like magnets/ Your company, I’ve been fienin/ I think I’ve turned to an addict/ I don’t get high, but looking in your eyes I’m lifted/ Can we make this tradition?/ Your kisses make all my doubts go away

Losing — H.E.R
