Intro: (x2) verse 1 Every whispered word you spoke Felt like a feather-light brushstroke On the paintings my heart hoped Would come to life someday All the plans we dreamed about We'd imagine them out loud 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, And every dream that never came true, Oooh wish I was only losing you, verse 2 Your whole family are friends, Don't know what I'll do without them, That perfect dress that I will never wear, The nights that we will never share, The love that I get used to seeing 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, And every dream that never came true, Oooh wish I was only losing you, Bridge The girl I was with you, was my best self Now I'm watching her become someone else * If I was only losing you, * Goodbye wouldn't be so brutal; * (getting louder) 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, And every dream that never came true, Every dream that never came truUue * Oooh wish I was only losing you, end
