Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Selena Gomez:
Lose You To Love Me
Length: 3:26
Release: 2019
Opening Lyrics:
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest
And you let it burn
Sang off-key in my chorus
‘Cause it wasn’t yours
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin’
When it wasn’t yours, yeah
I needed to lose you to find me
This dancing was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
