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
