Maroon 5: Losing My Mind Meaning
Losing My Mind Lyrics
I'm standing right behind you
Streets are much colder
Must mean I'm getting older
Why would you? How could I?
These questions lead to goodbye
Now I got my freedom, don't I?
I parked my car outside your...

I don't think it's about Jane. Similar to She will be Loved, this is about someone else. He fell in love with someone who he didn't take too seriously. He says you got me completely in my own game you beat me. Maybe he screwed around with her just for fun, or because he lusted after her. He's sort of acknowledging he was just playing her. He says he's burning and angry because she doesn't love him. I think she moved on to someone else and now he's feeling the burn. He says he loves her but also states that she's hardly someone he knows. He basically didn't know she had it in her to move on. He says her eyes make him stumble. You can tell he's captivated by her. Now that' he's free from their relationship they had, it scares him. He's terrified. He says he parks his car outside and hopes someday she'll come home. He's basically saying he'll wait forever for her if he has to. He wants her to come back home to him. These lines; "I will be back again, No this is not the end, I've fallen hard this time but I not giving in, I want the world to know that I won't let you forget, The tears that you shed,I'll make it impossible to let go" He's basically saying he's going to do everything he can to make sure she has a hard time forgetting about him. It's a mixture of anger and possession. She's his. At least, that's how he feels. This is why he thinks he's losing his mind. He's doing and saying crazy things.

This song talks about loneliness that probably Adam faced after the great love he had for Jane (The girl that inspired "Songs About Jane").
Firstly, he talks about how difficult for he is to find his real love, the how lonely he about that, noticing his age and how he was still unmarried.
Then, he remembers a past relation (you can expeculate, but it´s not clear).
The verse about this realation continues and from there, he starts talking of how their love moved from lovers to strangers, afronting that he tries to show himself like moving on, but that she is still on his head.
Forward that, Adam reminds the times that he had the relationship, and also makes us imagine a scene of this.
Then, he returns to how he feels right now, lonely, unloved, and hopeles, the verses repeat, but the idea keeps the same.
