Lose Myself

I could 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
 When 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
 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 in love when I needed it
 When all I ever wanted was love
 Should have told me I was worth receiving it
 But 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 for me to see!
 I had to lose myself, so I could love you better
 Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I could make it better
 Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, so I can 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 that fear in my head
 So perilously, I had to face the danger
 So I could come back and love you whole instead
 All of your soul I said, so I can make it better
 I had to lose myself had to lose myself, had to lose myself
 So I can love you better (I can love you better)
 Had to lose myself, had to lose myself, oh, I can make it better
 Lose myself in love, and that's just the way it is
 And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
 Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
 Whole lotta 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!
 And I had to lose myself, so I can 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 (love myself in love)
 Lose myself in love, and that's 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, it's not an excuse I give
 And I'd 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, it's not an excuse I give
 And I'd do it all again because for you, I live
 Had to lose myself, I could love you better, baby
 Had to lose myself in love again, so I could love you better, baby
 Had to lose myself in love again
 So I can 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, babe, I can love you better, babe, I can love you better, babe
 I can love you better, I can love you better, baby
 Love, that's just the way it is
