i can love you better |
|
lose myself in love .. |
|
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 |
|
try 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, |
|
lose myself in love |
|
and thats just the way it is |
|
couldnt tell me i was in love |
|
when i needed it |
|
when, all i ever wanted was love. |
|
should a told me |
|
i was worth receiving it |
|
but all i ever wanted was love |
|
theres 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 for me to see! |
|
i had to lose myself |
|
so i could love you better |
|
i had to lose myself, |
|
had to lose myself |
|
so i could make it better |
|
had to lose myself, |
|
had to lose myself |
|
so i could love you better |
|
lose myself in love |
|
and thats just the way it is |
|
i had a paralyzing fear of facing failure |
|
and i couldnt love you perfectly |
|
with that fear in my head |
|
so i perilously had to |
|
face the danger |
|
so i could come back |
|
and love you whole instead |
|
all of your soul i said! |
|
so i could make it 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 make it better |
|
lose myself in love |
|
and thats just the way it is |
|
and so it goes that |
|
i never meant to hurt you |
|
couldnt stay but i never |
|
meant to desert you |
|
whole lot a things |
|
i just had to work through |
|
time to heal and restore |
|
my self-worth too |
|
confrontation of my |
|
fears and anxiety |
|
cried a whole lot of years |
|
i suffered quietly |
|
and though it may have taken years |
|
i can finally |
|
tell you that you were |
|
always on my mind! |
|
i had to lose myself |
|
so i could love you better |
|
had to lose myself, |
|
had to lose myself |
|
so i could love you better baby |
|

|
had to lose myself, |
|
had to lose myself |
|
so i could love you better baby |
|

|
so I could love you better baby |
|
had to lose myself in love |
|

|
so I can love you better baby |
|
lose myself in love |
|
lose myself in love |
|
and thats just the way it is! |
|

|
