All in colour oh but now

I watch them fade away

If I was only losing you,
Em
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,
