Lose Myself
Gunnar Gehl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I built my world around, thinking that you'll be around
Forever isn't long enough, I think I need more time
'Cause I didn't know the best of me, 'til I gave it all to you
I didn't believe in meant to be, but now I know that it's true
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I had to watch you walk away from me and fall for someone else
If I ever lost you, if I ever lost you, I would lose myself
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
How did I live without your smile, I can see it now
Forеver isn't long enough when I'm by your sidе
When you're not here with me, you're in every song I sing
Even when you're out of reach, you're never not on my mind
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I had to watch you walk away from me and fall for someone else
If I ever lost you, if I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
'Cause I didn't know the best of me, 'til I gave it all to you
I didn't believe in meant to be, but now I know that it's true
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I ever lost you, I would lose my
I would lose my, I would lose myself, yeah
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself (if I ever lost you)
If I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I had to watch you walk away from me and fall for someone else
If I ever lost you, if I ever lost you, I would lose myself
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
If I ever lost, baby, if I ever lost you
