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
