lose you to love me

you promised the world and i fell for it

i put you first and you adored it

set fires to my forest

and you let it burn

sang off-key in my chorus

'cause it wasn't yours

i saw the signs and i ignored it

rose-colored glasses all distorted

set fire to my purpose

and i let it burn

you got off on the hurtin'

when it wasn't yours

we'd always go into it blindly

i needed to lose you to find me

this dancing was killing me softly

i needed to hate you to love me

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

i needed to lose you to love me

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

i needed to lose you to love me

i gave my all and they all know it

you tore me down and now it's showing

in two months

you replaced us

like it was easy

made me think i deserved it

in the thick of healing

we'd always go into it blindly

i needed to lose you to find me

this dancing was killing me softly

i needed to hate you to love me

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

i needed to lose you to love me

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

i needed to lose you to love me

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

and now the chapter is closed and done

to love

to love

yeah

to love

to love

yeah

to love

yeah

and now it's goodbye

it's goodbye for us
