Lauryn Hill – Lose Myself lyrics

I used to do it for the love a long time ago And all I ever wanted was love I used to love without fear a long time ago And all I ever wanted was love Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy Took pure love and tried to make you dirty Truth was, that he never did deserve me no I had to lose myself So I can love you better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can love you better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can love you better Lose myself in love And that's just the way it is You couldn't tell me I was love when I needed it When all I ever wanted was love Should've told me just because you were the receiving end But all I ever wanted was love There's something... About the... It takes to Give love and the good that it makes you True love can never really forsake you But it took a little while just for me to see I had to lose myself So I can love you better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can love you better Lose myself in love And that's just the way it is I had a paralogic fear of facing failure And I couldn't love you perfectly with fear in my head So I perilously had to face the danger So I could come back and love you whole instead I love you... So I can love you better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can love you better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better Lose myself in love And that's just the way it is And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you Whole lot of things that I just had to work through Time to heal and restore myself... Confrontation of my fears and anxiety Cried a whole lot of years I suffered quietly I know it may have taken years, I can finally Tell you that you were always on my mind I had to lose myself So I can make it better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better Lose myself in love And that was just the way it is It takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did Greater love to absorb all of the abuse I did Hey baby its not an excuse I did And I'd do it all again because for you I live It takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did Greater love to absorb all of the abuse I did Hey baby its not an excuse I did And I'd do it all again because for you I live I had to lose myself So I can make it better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better I had to lose myself I had to lose myself So I can make it better Lose myself in love And that was just the way And that was just the way it is Explain Request ×
