Lose Myself

I could 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 When 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 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 have 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!
