Lose You to Love Me - Landon Austin, Maddy Newton

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 it 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

I needed to lose you to find me

This dancing was killing me softly

I needed to hate you to love me, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

I needed to lose you to love me, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

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 showing

In two months, you replaced us

Like it was easy

Made me think I deserved it

In the thick of healing, yeah

We’d always go into it blindly

I needed to lose you to find me

This dancing was killing me softly

I needed to hate you to love me, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

I needed to lose you to love me, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

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 it burn

Sang off-key in my chorus

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

I needed to hate you to love me, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

I needed to lose you to love me

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

And now the chapter is closed and done

To love, love, yeah

To love, love, yeah

To love, yeah

And now it’s goodbye, it’s goodbye for us
