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-colored 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, yeah To love, love, yeah To love, love, yeah To love, yeah I needed to lose you to love me, yeah To love, love, yeah To love, love, yeah To love, yeah I needed to lose you to love me I tried to imagine Your reaction It didn't scare me When the earthquake happened But it really got me thinkin' That night we went drinkin' Stumbled in the house And didn't make it past the kitchen Ah it's been a year now Think I've figured out how How to think about you Without it rippin' my heart out And I know you know we know You weren't down for forever and it's fine I know you know we know We weren't meant for each other and it's fine But if the world was ending You'd come over right You'd come over And you'd stay the night Would you love me for the hell of it All our fears would be irrelevant If the world was ending You'd come over right The sky'd be falling While I hold you tight No there wouldn't be a reason why We would even have to say goodbye If the world was ending You'd come over right You'd come over right You'd come over You'd come over You'd come over right I needed to lose you to love me I needed to lose you to love me If the world was ending I needed to lose you to love me If the world was ending I needed to lose you to love me I'll be a lover Oooooh... ooooooh... I love you I can find my love I'll be a lover
