[Verse 1]
I used to do it for [G]the love a long time ago
[C]And all I ever wanted was [G]love
I used to love without fear a long time ago
[C]And all I ever wanted was [Am]love
Then somebody came around
and tried to hurt [D]me
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
[Am]Took a pure love and tried
to make it [D]dirty
Truth was they never did deserve me
[C]No!

[Verse 2]
I had to lose my[Bm]self [D]so
[Bm]I could love you b[Am]ette[C]r[Am]
I had to lose my[C]self,
had to lose [Bm]myself so I could
Love [Am]you b[C]et[Am]ter
[C]Had to los[Am]e mysel[C]f, had to lose mys[Bm]elf
So I [Am]could love you better
Had to lose myself in [D]love
And that's just the way [G]it is'

[Verse 3]
Couldn't tell me I was [G]love
when I needed it
[C]When, all I ever wanted was [G]love.
Should a told me just me because!
I'm worth receiving [C]it
But all I ever wanted [Am]was love
There's is something awkward
about the selflessness it
Takes [D]to
Give love and the good that
it makes [Am]you!
True love can never really forsake [D]you
But it took a little while just for me [C]to see!

[Verse 4]
I had to lose my[Bm]self so I
could love [Am]you better
I had to lose myself,
[C]had to lose my [Am]self [C]so I could
Love you better
Had to lose myself, had to [Bm]lose myself
So I could love [Am]you [C]better[Am]
Had to lose myself [D]in love
And that's just the way [Am]it is'

[Verse 5]
I had a paralyzing fear of facing [D]failure
And I couldn't love you perfectly
with fear in [Am]my head
So I peerlessly had to face [D]the danger
So I could come back and
love you whole [C]instead
All of your soul I said!
So [Bm]I could make it better

[Verse 6]
I had to lose myself so I could [Am]love
you [C]bet[Am]ter
I had to lose my[C]self,
had to lose my[Bm]self so I could
Love [Am]you b[C]etter[Am]
[C]Had to [Am]lose my s[C]elf,
had to [Bm]lose myself
So I could love [Am]you better
Had to lose myself [D]in love
And that's just the way it [Em]is'

[Verse 7]
be-Sec: And so it [Em]goes
that I never
meant to hurt [Am]you
Couldn't stay but I never
meant to desert you
[Em]Whole lot a things I just had to w[Am]ork through
[C]Tim[Am]e to heal and restore
myself worth too
[Em]Confrontation of my fears and [C]anxiety[Am]
[C]Cried a whole lot[Am] years I
suffered [Em]quietly
And though it may have taken
years I can fi[Am]nally!
[C]Tell you[Am] that you
were always on my [C]mind!

[Verse 8]
I had to lose my[Bm]self so I
could make [Am]it better
I had to lose myself,
[C]had to lose mys[Bm]elf so I could
Make [Am]it be[C]tter[Am]
[C]Had to [Am]lose my[C]self, had to lose [Bm]myself
So I [Am]could make it better
Had to lose myself [D]in love
And that was just the [G]way!

[Verse 9]
Takes strength to [Bm]absorb all
the abuse [Am]I did
Great love to ab[D]sorb all
the misuse I [G]did
Hey [Bm]baby it's not an excuse I [Am]give.
And I'd do it all [D]again because
for you I [G]live

[Verse 10]
Takes strength to [Bm]absorb
all the abuse I [Am]did
Great love to [D]absorb all the abuse I [G]did
Hey [Bm]baby it's not an excuse I [Am]give.
And I'd do it all [D]again
because for you I [C]live

[Verse 11]
I had [Bm]to lose myself so I could [Am]make it better

[C]mys[Am]elf in love[D]
