Lose Myself
Abby Wolfe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Two o'clock in the morning
We're lying in bed awake
I'm staring at the ceiling
My voice begins to break
It's me doing all the talking
You're giving me nothing by rolling away
I know something in you is different
But you turned your back on me
You say I've changed and shifted
You twist the whole story
You tore away the blankets
Slammed the door and grabbed your keys

Through all this shit
Oh, I've been having sleepless nights
I don't know whether to choose you
Or let you go.

I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
To move on, need to admit that you're gone.

You came back an hour later
You couldn't look me in the eye
I felt like a stranger
Know something's on your mind
Then you dropped the veil
You'd let another into your life

Through all this shit
Oh, I've been having sleepless nights
I don't know whether to choose you
Or let you go.

I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
To move on, need to admit that you're gone.

I still love you
But I know I can't go back, know I can't go back Though, I want to
Our time is done, need to admit and move on

I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
To move on, need to admit that you're gone.
I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you
I would lose
I'd lose myself to keep you




To move on, need to admit that you're gone.
To move on, need to admit that you're gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abby Wolfe's song "Lose Myself" depict a tumultuous and emotionally charged relationship between two individuals. The song opens with a scene of vulnerability and conflict as the singer, unable to sleep, is left alone to grapple with their thoughts while their partner remains distant. The sense of isolation and unreciprocated communication is emphasized as the partner physically turns away and leaves, symbolizing a deep disconnect in their bond.


As the singer navigates the aftermath of this confrontation, they express a profound inner struggle. The theme of sacrificing one's own identity and essence to maintain a relationship is central to the lyrics. The singer contemplates the difficult choice between holding on to the person they love at the expense of losing themselves or embracing the painful reality of letting go. The repetition of the lines "I would lose myself to keep you" underscores the internal conflict and the extent to which the singer is willing to go for the sake of their partner.


The return of the partner brings a moment of reckoning, where the truth behind their actions is revealed. The sense of betrayal and hurt is palpable as the partner admits to letting someone else into their life, further complicating the already strained dynamic between the couple. The singer's conflicting feelings of love and the acknowledgment of the impossibility of returning to the past add layers of complexity to their emotional journey.


In the final verses of the song, acceptance and closure become crucial themes as the singer wrestles with the need to move on and acknowledge the finality of their relationship. The repeated refrain "To move on, need to admit that you're gone" reflects the bittersweet realization that letting go is necessary for their own emotional well-being. The lyrics ultimately convey a message of self-awareness, growth, and the painful but necessary act of accepting the end of a chapter in one's life in order to pave the way for new beginnings.
