Love to Lose Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Okay, I've never really ever had it easy
No one showed me affection boy, the way that you did
I guess I've never had someone to truly teach me
A Freudian connection was it something I missed?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you kept pushing so I had to pull away
For me it was so alien, you begging me to stay
But the moment that you chose to close the door
Cut me to the core
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end
[Verse 2]
My friends are telling me this is just my ego
They say your rejection is the reason I care
But it's deeper, it's a feeling only we know
In my self-reflection I can see I was just too scared
Okay, I've never really ever had it easy
No one showed me affection boy, the way that you did
I guess I've never had someone to truly teach me
A Freudian connection was it something I missed?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you kept pushing so I had to pull away
For me it was so alien, you begging me to stay
But the moment that you chose to close the door
Cut me to the core
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end
[Verse 2]
My friends are telling me this is just my ego
They say your rejection is the reason I care
But it's deeper, it's a feeling only we know
In my self-reflection I can see I was just too scared
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Scared of loving so I had to pull away
For me it was so alien, you begging me to stay
But the moment that you said you're moving on
Felt so wrong
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end, the end
[Bridge]
Dare me to undermine
Restore my restless mind
Soothe me like calamine
Say your line, say we're fine
Stop playing oh you're mine
We're wasting precious time
When we can redefine
Redefine, redesign
Scared of loving so I had to pull away
For me it was so alien, you begging me to stay
But the moment that you said you're moving on
Felt so wrong
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end, the end
[Bridge]
Dare me to undermine
Restore my restless mind
Soothe me like calamine
Say your line, say we're fine
Stop playing oh you're mine
We're wasting precious time
When we can redefine
Redefine, redesign
Dare me to undermine
Restore my restless mind
Soothe me like calamine
Say your line, say we're fine
Stop playing oh you're mine
We're wasting precious time
When we can redefine
Redefine, redesign
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end, the end
[Outro]
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind
Restore my restless mind
Soothe me like calamine
Say your line, say we're fine
Stop playing oh you're mine
We're wasting precious time
When we can redefine
Redefine, redesign
[Chorus]
Cause I could only love you
Baby when I lost you
Something that I had to do
So that this could all make sense
Now I wanna hold you
And do what I'm told to
All the shit I put you through
Tell me that it's not the end, the end
[Outro]
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
Your mind
