I’ve been losing you – A-HA

“I’ve Been Losing You” is a powerful track by the Norwegian band A-Ha, released as the lead single from their second album, Scoundrel Days (1986). It showcases a darker and more intense tone compared to their earlier work, reflecting the band’s evolution. The song combines dramatic lyrics with a driving beat and haunting melodies, creating a sense of urgency. Its themes revolve around a strained relationship and emotional turmoil, with a rawness that’s both heartfelt and cinematic.

It wasn’t the rain that washed away… Rinsed out the colours of your eyes Putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized

It wasn’t the rain That made no difference And I could have sworn it wasn’t me Yet I did it all so coldly …almost slowly Plain for all to see

Oh c’mon please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful How can I stop now… Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I’ve been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing You’re hissing your s’s like a snake Now in the mirror stands Half a man I thought no one could break

It wasn’t the rain That made no difference …nervously drumming on:Run away But I want the guilt to get me Thoughts to wreck me Preying on my mind

So, please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful For how can I stop now… Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I’ve been losing you
