Lose Myself Letra

i used to do it for the love a long time ago
when all i ever want it was love
i used to love without fear
when all i ever want was love
and somebody came around and tried to hurt me
try to make me feel like i was unworthy
took a pill love and tried to make it dirty
truth was they never did deserve me
no!

[Chorus:]
i had to lose myself so i could love you better
i 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.
should a told me i was worth receiving it
but all i ever wanted was love
there's is 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!

[Chorus:]
i had to lose myself so i could love you 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 love you better
had to 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 peerlessly 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

[Chorus:]
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 lot years i suffered quietly
and though it may have taken years i can finally!
tell you that you were always on my mind!

[Chorus:]
i had to lose myself 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
had to lose myself in love
and that was just the way!

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 abuse i did
hey baby it's not an excuse i give.
and i'd do it all again because for you i live

[Chorus:]
i had to lose myself so i could make it better
i 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 make it better
had to lose myself in love
i could make it better, i could make it better
i could make it better, i could make it better
and that was just the way!
and that was just the way it is...
