Key: B
Introduction:
A D
I used to do it for the love a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love
Bm E
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
E
Had to lose myself in love
And that's just the way it is…
A D
Couldn't tell me I was love when I needed it
When, all I ever wanted was love.
Bm E
There's is something awkward about the selflessness it
takes to
D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
E
Had to lose myself in love
And that's just the way it is…
Bm E
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
And I couldn't love you perfectly with fear in my head
D C#m Bm
All of your soul I said!
So I could make it better
E
Had to lose myself in love
And that's just the way it is…
F#m Bm
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
E
Had to lose myself in love
And that was just the way!
A C#m Bm E
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
E
And that was just the way!
And that was just the way it is…
