Marsha Ambrosius - Lose Myself Lyrics

I can love you better
Lose myself in love

I used to do it for the love a long time ago
When 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
Tried 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 love when I needed it
When all I ever wanted was love
Shoulda 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
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 fear in my head
So I perilously I 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 myself worth too
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
Cried a whole lotta 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 babe better babe
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could make it better baby
Had to lose myself had to lose myself so I could love you better baby
Had to lose myself in love so I could love you better baby
Lose myself in love again
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
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

Had to lose myself so I could love you better baby
Had to lose myself in love so I could love you better
