Every whispered word you spoke

Felt like a feather light brush stroke

On the paintings my heart hoped

Would come to life some day

All the plans we dreamed about

We'd imagine them out loud

All in colour, oh but now

I watch them fade away.

[Chorus]

Ooh 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

With every dream that never came true

Ooh wish I was only losing you.

Your whole family, our 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 laughter that you used to save for me.

[Chorus]

Ooh 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

With every dream that never came true

Ooh wish I was only losing you.

The girl I was with you, was my best self

Now I'm watching her become someone else.

[Chorus]

Ooh 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

With every dream that never came true

Ooh wish I was only losing you.

With every dream that never came true

Ooh wish I was only losing you.
