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 hurting 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
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
