Selena Gomez - Lose You To Love Me
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
"Lose You to Love Me" is about realizing that a romantic relationship had to end in order for her to realize her self-worth and find love within herself. The song highlights the healing process that follows a tough breakup, and reflects on all the red flags that were ignored during the relationship. It conveys the idea that sometimes we need to lose the one we love in order to truly love ourselves. Gomez emphasizes the need to accept that her love was not properly reciprocated and coming to terms with the fact that she needs to move on. The song emphasizes that it’s only by letting go of something or someone that can lead to true personal growth and eventually a place of self-love and understanding.
