Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 hurtin' when it wasn't yours
Yeah
[PreChorus]
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dance, it was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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, yeah
[PreChorus]
We'd always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dance, it was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[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
[Outro]
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
