Mmm, yeah-yeah
I had to lose you to love me
I had to break to be free
(Our love, our lost love)
Oh, I had to lose you
To love me
You were the fire I burned in
The lie I kept learning
I gave you all my pieces
But you just kept on turning
You said we were forever
But forever turned to pain
You loved me when it was easy
And vanished in the rain
I cried in all the corners
Where your voice used to stay
Now silence is the loudest
Since you pushed me away
I had to lose you to love me
Had to fall just to stand again
You were my world, but now I see
You were the lesson in my end
I had to break to feel my heart
And now I know who I should be
I had to lose you
Lose you to love me
Lose you
Lose you
To finally find me
To finally hold me
Like I never could with you
You took my softness for weakness
My tears for permission
And I kept forgiving
While you stayed on your mission
To love me like a shadow
Only there when the light shone
But now I glow in darkness
Now I'm better off alone
I gave you all my stories
You rewrote them with pain
But I took back the pages
And I'm writing them again
I had to lose you to love me
Had to drown to learn to breathe
You were a storm I had to flee
Now there's calm inside of me
I had to fall apart to rise
Now your ghost is finally free
I had to lose you
Lose you to love me
Lose you
Lose you
To finally find me
To finally hold me
Like I never could with you
Our lost love was a mirror
Of who I used to be
But now I see clearer
That love starts in me
You were the ache, now I'm healing
You were the noise, now there’s peace
I loved you in pieces
Now I love me in peace
Lose you
Lose you
To finally find me
To finally hold me
Like I never could with you
I had to lose you to love me
Had to break to be whole
I found power in goodbye
And freedom in letting go
I had to fall apart to rise
And now I see so honestly
I had to lose you
To love me
Lose you
Lose you
To finally find me
To finally hold me
Like I never could with you
(Our love, our lost love)
It hurt, but I'm free
I had to lose you
To love me
