I can love you better
|
Lose myself in love
|
|
I used to do it for the love a long time ago
|
When all I ever wanted was love
|
I used to love without fear a long time ago
|
When all I ever wanted was love
|
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
|
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
|
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
|
Truth was they never did deserve me no
|
|
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Lose myself in love
|
And that's just the way it is
|
|
Couldn't tell me I was love when I needed it
|
When all I ever wanted was love
|
Shoulda told me I was worth receiving it
|
But all I ever wanted was love
|
There's something awkward about the selflessness it takes to
|
Give love and the good that it makes you
|
True love can never really forsake you
|
But it took a little while just for me to see
|
|
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could make it better
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Lose myself in love
|
And that's just the way it is
|
|
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
|
And I couldn't love you perfectly with fear in my head
|
So I perilously I had to face the danger
|
So I could come back and love you whole instead
|
All of your soul I said
|
So I could make it better
|
|
I had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could make it better
|
Lose myself in love
|
And that's just the way it is
|
|
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
|
Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
|
Whole lot a things I just had to work through
|
Time to heal and restore myself worth too
|
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
|
Cried a whole lotta years I suffered quietly
|
And though it may have taken years I can finally
|
Tell you that you were always on my mind
|
|
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better babe better babe
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could make it better baby
|
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better baby
|
Had to lose myself in love so I could love you better baby
|
Lose myself in love again
|
Lose myself in love
|
And that's just the way it is
|
|
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
|
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
|
Hey baby it's not an excuse I give
|
And I'd do it all again because for you I live
|
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
|
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
|
Hey baby it's not an excuse I give
|
And I'd do it all again because for you I live
|
|
Had to lose myself so I could love you better baby
|
Had to lose myself in love so I could love you better
|
