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 ,

i could love you better

I can love you better

I could love you better

I could love you better

It sure feels right

thats just the way it is
