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 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 a 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
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 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 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 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 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 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 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
That? s just the way it is
