About Losing Grip

"Losing Grip" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released as the fourth and final single and the first track from her multi-platinum debut album, Let Go (except in New Zealand where "Mobile" was released). It was released in late spring of 2003 after the success of "I'm with You". The song was written by Lavigne and Clif Magness, and produced by Magness. The song is much heavier with grunge oriented sounds, than most of the songs on Let Go that had a more poppy feel. She performed "Losing Grip" at the Juno Awards of 2003. It is about Lavigne "losing grip" with her boyfriend as they are just not meant to be. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 22, 2003.

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
