Lose Myself<br>
<br>
<br>
Key: D major (if that interest anyone)<br>
<br>
I used to do it for the love a long time ago<br>
And all I ever wanted was love<br>
I used to love without fear a long time ago<br>
And all I ever wanted was love<br>
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me<br>
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy<br>
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty<br>
Truth was they never did deserve me <br>
No! <br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
I had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself <br>
So I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself in love<br>
And that’s just the way it is…<br>
<br>
Couldn’t tell me I was love when I needed it<br>
When, all I ever wanted was love. <br>
Should a told me just me because!<br>
I’m worth receiving it <br>
But all I ever wanted was love <br>
There’s is something awkward about the selflessness it takes to<br>
Give love and the good that it makes you!<br>
True love can never really forsake you<br>
But it took a little while just for me to see! <br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
I had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself <br>
So I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself in love<br>
And that’s just the way it is…<br>
<br>
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure<br>
And I couldn’t love you perfectly with fear in my head<br>
So I perilously had to face the danger<br>
So I could come back and love you whole instead<br>
All of your soul I said!<br>
So I could make it better<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
I had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself <br>
So I could love you better<br>
Had to lose myself in love<br>
And that’s just the way it is…<br>
<br>
B-Sec:<br>
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you<br>
Couldn’t stay but I never meant to desert you<br>
Whole lot a things I just had to work thru<br>
Time to heal and restore myself worth too<br>
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety <br>
Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly <br>
And though it may have taken years I can finally!<br>
Tell you that you were always on my mind!<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
I had to lose myself so I could make it better<br>
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could make it better<br>
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself <br>
So I could make it better<br>
Had to lose myself in love<br>
And that was just the way!<br>
<br>
Bridge:<br>
<br>
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did<br>
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did<br>
Hey baby it’s not an excuse I give.<br>
And I’d do it all again because for you I live<br>
<br>
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did<br>
Great love to absorb all the abuse I did<br>
Hey baby it’s not an excuse I give.<br>
And I’d do it all again because for you I live <br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
I had to lose myself so I could make it better<br>
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could make it better<br>
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself <br>
So I could make it better<br>
Had to lose myself in love<br>
And that was just the way!<br>
And that was just the way it is…<br>
