You promised the world, and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest, and you let burn
Sang off key in my chorus, 'cause it wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose, and I let it burn
You got off on the hurting when it wasn't yours, yeah

We'd always go into it blindly (Oooh, oh)
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly (Oooh, oh)
I needed to hate you to love me

To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me

I gave my all and they all know it
Then you tore me down and now it's showin'
In two months you replaced us, like it was easy
Made me think I deserved it, in the thick of healin', yeah

We'd always go into it blindly (Oooh, oh)
I needed to lose you to find me (Ooooh)
This dancing was killing me softly (Oooh, oh)
Yeah I needed to hate you to love me

To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah (To love)
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me (Love)
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah (To love)
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me

You promised the world, and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest, and you let burn
Sang off key in my chorus, 'cause it wasn't yours

Ooh yeah
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah (To love)
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me (Love)
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to love)
To love, love, yeah
(Gotta lose you to, lose you to, lose you to love me)
To love, yeah (To love)
(Gotta lose you to love)
I needed to lose you to love me
Love, love, yeah
Love, yeah
