I used to do it for the love a long time ago
And all I ever wanted was love
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
Had to 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.
There's is something awkward about the selflessness it
takes to
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
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
All of your soul I said!
So I could make it better
Had to 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
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
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
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could
And that was just the way!
And that was just the way it is…
