“I thought love would save me…
But sometimes it breaks you first.”
Verse 1
I stayed way past the warning signs
Called it love, but I was just blind
I gave you pieces of my soul
Till I forgot the man I know
Every promise felt so real
But I was the only one who’d feel
Pre-Chorus 1
I kept fixing what you broke
While I was dying just to cope
Looked for you to save my life
But I was drowning deep inside
Chorus
Oh… love broke me
And now it’s time to heal
I was begging you for things
Things I never knew I’d need
I poured my heart out till there was nothing left
Love broke me, so now I’ll learn to love myself
Verse 2
I chased a feeling that I outgrew
Made excuses just to stay with you
I learned your pain like it was my own
But you never learned me, that this was wrong
I lost my voice, I just lost my way
Only to keep you from walking away
Pre-Chorus 2
I was only holding onto us
Like letting go would kill my trust
I can’t do anything to make you see
What this love was doing to me
Chorus
Oh… love broke me
And now it’s time to heal
I was begging you for things
Things I never knew I’d need
I poured my heart out till there was nothing left
Love broke me, so now I’ll learn to love myself
Bridge
I’m not looking for a savior
In someone who won’t stay
If loving you means losing me
I choose myself today
(soft first time, then build)
So I choose myself today
Final Chorus
Oh… love broke me
And now it’s time to heal
I was begging you for things
Things I never knew I’d need
I poured my heart out till there was nothing left
Love broke me, so now I’ll learn to love myself
It’ll take some time
But I’ll learn to love again somehow
