This Loss Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Itty-bitty, oh so pretty as I watch myself break down
Satisfying, as l'm crying, watch the vomit hit the ground
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me

[Chorus]
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It’s tearing at my heart (It's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won’t ever stop

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it

[Verse 2]
There's nothing like the sound of screaming, looping up all in my mind
Horrid pictures of the past invading my pineal high
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me
Always taken back from me
[Chorus]
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (It's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop

[Bridge]
This is plain to see
Been holding on too long to this tragedy
And it's time to be free
To understand what this path's laid out for me
So here I am again
Happiness is a club I’ll never be in
I’ll never be in, I'll never get in, I’ll never get in
Never get in
Never get in

[Chorus]
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (It's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won’t ever stop

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, take it back, take it back

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
