AVRIL LAVIGNE - LOSING GRIP
Are You Aware Of What You Make Me Feel, Baby?
Right Now I Feel Invisible To You, Like I'm Not Real
Didn't You Feel Me Lock My Arms Around You?
Why'd You Turn Away?
Here's What I Have To Say
I Was Left To Cry There
Waiting Outside There
Grinning With A Lost Stare
That's When I Decided
Why Should I Care?
'Cause You Weren't There
When I Was Scared
I Was So Alone
You, You Need To Listen
I'm Starting To Trip
I'm Losing My Grip
And I'm In This Thing Alone
Am I Just Some Chick You Place Beside You To Take Somebody's Place?
When You Turn Around Can You Recognize My Face?
You Used To Love Me, You Used To Hug Me
But That Wasn't The Case
Everything Wasn't Ok
I Was Left To Cry There
Waiting Outside There
Grinning With A Lost Stare
That's When I Decided
Why Should I Care?
'Cause You Weren't There
When I Was Scared
I Was So Alone
You, You Need To Listen
I'm Starting To Trip
I'm Losing My Grip
And I'm In This Thing Alone
Crying Out Loud
I'm Crying Out Loud
Crying Out Loud
I'm Crying Out Loud
Open Your Eyes
Open Up Wide
Why Should I Care?
'Cause You Weren't There
When I Was Scared
I Was So Alone
Why Should I Care?
'Cause You Weren't There
When I Was Scared
I Was So Alone
Why Should I Care?
If You Don't Care
Then I Don't Care
We're Not Going Anywhere
Why Should I Care?
'Cause You Weren't There
When I Was Scared
I Was So Alone
Why Should I Care?
If You Don't Care
Then I Don't Care
We're Not Going Anywhere
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Avril Lavigne, Clif Magness
Producer(s): Clif Magness
Avril Lavigne Wrote The Lyric To "Losing Grip" Specifically About An Ex-Boyfriend Who Didn't Provide The Emotional Support She Needed. Says Lavigne: "It Doesn't Matter Now, And Plus I Got A Good Song Out Of It."
Lavigne Says She Likes Performing This While She's Mad - "And I'm Always Mad At Boys."
Lavigne Wrote This Song With Clif Magness, Who Produced The Track. Magness Was One Of The Writer-Producers Arista Records Teamed Avril With When They Signed Her. Part Of Her Appeal Was That She Wrote Her Own Songs, But She Was Just 17 And Couldn't Do It Alone.
This Was The Fourth Single From Lavigne's Debut Album, Let Go, Which Ended Up Selling Over 7 Million Copies In America. The First Three Singles - "Complicated," "Sk8er Boi" And "I'm With You" - Were Collaborations With The Los Angeles Songwriting Team The Matrix.
During Her Seemingly Unending Procession Of Interviews Following The Album Release, Lavigne Was Often Asked To Name Her Favorite Song From The Album. Her Answer Was "Losing Grip."
