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 'cause it wasn't yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-coloured glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose and I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin' when it wasn't yours, yeah
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
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
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
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
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
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
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
I needed to lose you to love me
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
And now the chapter is closed and done
To love, love, yeah, to love, love, yeah, to love
And now it's goodbye, it's goodbye for us
