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
