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