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