Lose Myself

[00:02.54] I could love you better
[00:05.76] Lose myself in love
[00:10.89] I used to do it for the love a long time ago
[00:13.58] And all I ever wanted was love
[00:18.00] I used to love without fear a long time ago
[00:20.69] When all I ever wanted was love
[00:24.96] Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
[00:28.34] Try to make me feel like I was unworthy
[00:31.69] Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
[00:34.99] Truth was they never did deserve me, no!
[00:38.13] I had to lose myself, so I could love you better
[00:43.50] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I could love you better
[00:50.36] Lose myself in love and that's just the way it is
[00:55.59] Couldn't tell me I was in love when I needed it
[00:58.37] When all I ever wanted was love
[01:02.49] Should have told me I was worth receiving it
[01:04.94] But all I ever wanted was love
[01:09.20] There's something awkward about the selflessness it takes to
[01:12.52] Give love and the good that it makes you
[01:16.29] True love can never really forsake you
[01:19.31] But it took a little while just for me to see!
[01:22.72] I had to lose myself, so I could love you better
[01:27.80] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I could make it better
[01:34.63] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I can love you better
[01:41.75] Lose myself in love, and that's just the way it is
[01:47.10] I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
[01:50.62] And I couldn't love you perfectly with that fear in my head
[01:54.22] So perilously, I had to face the danger
[01:57.25] So I could come back and love you whole instead
[02:00.52] All of your soul I said, so I can make it better
[02:05.76] I had to lose myself had to lose myself, had to lose myself
[02:09.41] So I can love you better (I can love you better)
[02:12.69] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, oh, I can make it better
[02:19.95] Lose myself in love, and that's just the way it is
[02:24.88] And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
[02:28.59] Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
[02:31.66] Whole lotta things I just had to work through
[02:35.24] Time to heal and restore my self-worth too
[02:38.84] Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
[02:42.24] Cried a whole lot of years, I suffered quietly
[02:45.44] And though it may have taken years, I can finally
[02:48.98] Tell you that you were always on my mind!
[02:52.14] And I had to lose myself, so I can love you better
[02:57.11] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I could
[03:01.57] Love you better baby, better, baby
[03:05.02] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself
[03:08.12] So I could love you better, baby
[03:10.94] Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I could love you better, baby
[03:17.66] Had to lose myself in love
[03:20.77] Yeah, so I can love you better, baby, lose myself in love (love myself in love)
[03:31.99] Lose myself in love, and that's just the way it is
[03:36.48] Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
[03:40.12] Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
[03:43.42] Hey baby, it's not an excuse I give
[03:47.08] And I'd do it all again because for you, I live
[03:50.38] Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
[03:53.70] Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
[03:57.40] Hey baby, it's not an excuse I give
[04:00.66] And I'd do it all again because for you, I live
[04:04.33] Had to lose myself, I could love you better, baby
[04:09.46] Had to lose myself in love again, so I could love you better, baby
[04:16.32] Had to lose myself in love again
[04:19.45] So I can love you better, baby, baby
[04:23.05] Had to lose myself in love again
[04:26.48] So I could love you better, baby, baby, baby
[04:30.27] I can love you better, babe, I can love you better, babe, I can love you better, babe
[04:35.16] I can love you better, I can love you better, baby
