[Loss and Gain]
[Verse 1]
I held on like it was sacred
Even when it started breaking
Every promise wearing thin
I called it love, you called it the end
Funny thing about the end, it’s a chance to begin again
You made your choice, no more trying to pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
I was drowning in what we used to be
Didn’t know I was losing me
[Chorus]
Losing you was gaining me
No broken heart now I can breathe
All that weight I couldn’t see
Fell right off when you let me
Yeah it hurt, yeah it cut deep
But it gave me back what you couldn’t keep
Losing you… was gaining me
[Verse 2]
I was chasing something fading
You were halfway out, I stayed in
Built a life on maybe’s and lies
While the truth was in your eyes
You packed your bags, left me at a loss for words
I watched you go, even though it hurt
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I kept fighting for a memory
Didn’t know it was burying me
[Chorus]
Losing you was gaining me
I found myself I’m finally free
All that weight I couldn’t breathe
Fell right off when you chose to leave
Yeah I won’t deny it hurt, yeah it cut deep
But it gave me back, yeah now I can see
Losing you… was gaining me
[Bridge]
No more “what if,” no more “why”
No more begging you to try
You walked out, took my misery
Without that weight I can breathe
Not sad you left not wishing you’d stay
Just happy to be alone these days
[Final Chorus]
Losing you was gaining me
I found myself I’m finally free
All that weight I couldn’t breathe
Fell right off when you chose to leave
Yeah I won’t deny it hurt, yeah it cut deep
But it gave me back, yeah now I can see
Losing you… was gaining me
[Outro]
Yeah… losing you
Was gaining me
Yeah… losing you
Was gaining me
