In "You're Losing Me," Swift grapples with the reality of losing the war and breaking her promise. The last line in "The Great War" is "I will always be yours," a vow to be loyal in the aftermath of betrayal and distress. Its title is a direct reference to World War I. The bridge also echoes "The Great War," another bonus track on "Midnights," which makes heavy use of wartime symbolism. ("After giving you the best I had / Tell me what to give after that," she previously sang in "Happiness.") Instead, her lover responds with ambivalence and "I don't understand." The idea that Swift puts forward in "Epiphany," that some things are just too painful to talk about, is turned on its head in "You're Losing Me." She fought and bled for this relationship, and she demands that her sacrifices be acknowledged.
