You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it, set fires to my forest
And you let it burn, sang off-key in my chorus
'Cause it wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glasses all distorted, set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn, you got off on the hurtin'
When it wasn’t yours, yeah
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to lose you to love me
I gave my all and they all know it
That you turned me down and now it's showing
N.C.
Like it was easy
Made me think I deserved it
In the thick of healing, yeah
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to lose you to love me
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it, set fires to my forest
And you let it burn, sang off-key in my chorus
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, I needed to lose you to love me
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, and now the chapter is closed and done
To love love, yeah, to love love, yeah
To love, yeah, and now it's goodbye, it's goodbye for us
