[Verse 1]
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adoredâ
it
Setâ
firesâ
toâ
myâ
forest
And you letâ
it burn
Sang off-keyâ
in my chorus
'Cause itâ
wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glassesâallâdistorted
Setâfire to myâpurpose
And I letâit burn
You got off on the hurtin'
When it wasn't yours, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
To love, to love, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
To love, to love, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, to love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
[Bridge]
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
