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
