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>
