In a newly released vault track called “You’re Losing Me,” Swift, 33, sings about feeling sick as a relationship crumbles in front of her eyes.
Likening herself to a “phoenix always rising from the ashes, mending all her gashes,” she questions whether to stay and try to mend the relationship or give up on it.
“Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? / I’m getting tired,” she sings.
In the chorus, Swift repeats “Stop, you’re losing me,” several times before adding, “I can’t find a pulse / My heart won’t start anymore for you / ‘cause you’re losing me.”
After the chorus, she sings “my pain is such an imposition” as she continues to allude to a failing relationship.
“Now you’re running down the hallway / And you know what they all say, ‘You don’t know what you got until it’s gone.'”
