LOSE YOU THAN LOSE MYSELF

[Verse 1]
I’d rather hear the truth, even if it breaks me,
than hold on to a lie to keep you near.
I’d rather miss your touch than have you here
when your heart’s already gone.

I don’t want forever if it feels like goodbye.
I’d rather walk away than spend my life asking why.
Being next to you
while feeling alone
isn’t love.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it’s gonna hurt,
yeah, I’m gonna fall,
but some things die
when we pretend they’re not gone.

[Chorus]
I’d rather lose you than lose myself,
break my heart than live a lie.
Rather cry your name from somewhere else
than hold you while you’re gone inside.

If loving you means walking through the fire,
let it burn—I won’t deny this love.
I may have nothing when you’re gone,
but I’d rather have the truth
than fake that I’m enough.

[Verse 2]
Maybe someday we’ll find our way back,
maybe time will bring your hand to mine.
But I won’t trade the nights we shared,
every kiss, every tear, every piece of time.

When the silence comes
and you’re no longer here,
I’ll keep the memories
without pretending they disappeared.

You’ll always have a place
inside my heart,
even if we’re apart.

[Bridge]
If I have to lose you,
I’ll let you walk away.
I won’t sell my soul
just to make you stay.

I’ll take the heartbreak
just to know that I lived.

[Final Chorus]
I’d rather lose you than lose myself,
break my heart than live a lie.
Rather know you’re gone for someone else
than wake beside a stranger every night.

If loving you means walking away,
I’ll leave with every truth we made.
I may have nothing when you’re gone,
but I’d rather lose you, baby,
than lose myself holding on.

[Outro]
I’d rather lose you
than lose myself.
I’d rather hurt tonight
than live a lie forever.
