Lose Myself

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
better baby
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
had to lose myself in love
yeah,
so I can love you better baby
lose myself in love
lose myself in love
and thats just the way it is!
takes strength to absorb
all the abuse i did
great love to absorb
all the misuse i did
hey baby
its not an excuse i give.
and id do it all again
because for you i live
takes strength to absorb
all the abuse i did
great love to absorb
all the misuse i did
hey baby
its not an excuse i give.
and id do it all again
because for you i live
had to lose myself
so i could love you better baby
had to lose myself in love,
so I could love you better baby
had to lose myself in love again
so I could love you better
baby baby
had to lose myself in love again
so i could love you better
baby baby baby
i can love you better baby,
i could love you better ,

It sure feels right
thats just the way it is
