I gave you all, left nothing behind
Put your dreams before mine
Tried to shrink so you could shine
Called it love, but I crossed the line
Loving you was losing me
Piece by piece, too blind to see
I disappeared to keep you whole
Traded my heart to feed your soul
I don't hate you, but now I see
Loving you was losing me
I wore your silence like perfume
Filled every crack to give you room
You never asked but I still gave
Built my worth in being brave
Loving you was losing me
Like drowning slow, too proud to flee
I held on, hoping love would grow
But roots don't thrive when there's no soil below
I don't blame you, but I had to leave
Loving you was losing me
Sometimes love means letting go
Even if it's the last thing you know
Loving you was losing me
And now I fight to just be free
I'm learning now to stand alone
To find the pieces I've outgrown
I still miss you, but I believe
Loving you was losing me
