sitting here alone thinking it through
trying to convince myself that i'm not losing you
why can't you just forget the things i said?
i was angry at the time but now i've cleared my head.
it was so strong, where did it all go wrong?

chorus:

so tell me why....
i'm swimming against the tide
and i'm praying for a lifeline
cos i'm losing you
so tell me why
you dont care enough to try
are you giving up this fight
i can't stand, won't stand losing you.

you don't have to say a word its in your eyes
what can i do to convince you we need more time?
and i know i may have made a few mistakes
but losing you is just too much for me to take
it was so strong, where did it all go wrong?

so tell me why....
i'm swimming against the tide
and i'm praying for a lifeline
cos i'm losing you
so tell me why
you don't care enough to try
are you giving up this fight
i can't stand, won't stand losing you.

so tell me what to say
because i need a chance to change
and i wont let you walk away

so tell me why....
i'm swimming against the tide
and i'm praying for a lifeline
cos i'm losing you
so tell me why
you dont care enough to try
are you giving up this fight
i can't stand, won't stand losing you.
