[Verse] So I open up the curtains To let the morning in The hopefulness and certainty Have washed away my sins With the things that we were workin' on The walls were closin' in [Pre-Chorus] And I wanted to be better I wanted to be good I wanted to be different than anyone ever could I wanted to be happy I wanted to be true I wanted to be everything I never was to you [Chorus] I lost myself in loving you I lost myself in loving you [Verse] So I lay out in the backyard In the sunlit afternoon With the purple grass and shadows From the big oak trees that bloom With the things that I still hold onto And I can't let them loose [Pre-Chorus] And I wanted to be better I wanted to be good I wanted to be different than anyone ever could I wanted to be happy I wanted to be true I wanted to be everything I never was to you [Chorus] I lost myself in hating you I lost myself in hating you I lost myself in hating you I lost myself in hating you I lost myself in hating you
