[00:00.00]Lose Myself (Album Version) - Ms. Lauryn Hill (萝伦·希尔)
[00:39.64]I used to do it for the love a long time ago
[00:41.93]And all I ever wanted was love
[00:46.14]I used to love without fear a long time ago
[00:48.50]And all I ever wanted was love
[00:51.64]
[00:52.47]Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
[00:54.70]
[00:55.52]Try to make me feel like I was unworthy
[00:57.23]
[00:58.60]Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
[01:00.69]
[01:01.70]Truth was they never did deserve me no
[01:04.34]
[01:04.91]I had to lose myself so I could love you better
[01:08.42]
[01:09.41]I had to lose myself had to lose myself
[01:12.95]So I could love you better
[01:14.92]
[01:16.06]I had to lose myself had to lose myself
[01:19.59]So I could love you better
[01:20.94]
[01:22.02]Lose myself in love
[01:23.97]
[01:25.01]And that's just the way it is
[01:26.97]Couldn't tell me I was in love when I needed it
[01:29.67]When all I ever wanted was love
[01:33.68]Should a told me I was worth receiving it
[01:35.83]When all I ever wanted was love
[01:39.38]
[01:39.93]There's something awkward about the selflessness
[01:40.97]It takes to
[01:42.16]
[01:43.08]Give love and the good that it makes you
[01:45.68]
[01:46.29]True love can never really forsake you
[01:48.31]
[01:49.10]But it took a little while just for me to see
[01:52.58]I had to lose myself so I could love you better
[01:56.03]
[01:57.28]I had to lose myself had to lose myself
[02:00.19]
[02:00.93]So I could love you better
[02:02.51]
[02:03.87]Had to lose myself in love
[02:05.67]
[02:06.41]And that's just the way it is
[02:08.06]
[02:08.58]I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
[02:10.46]
[02:11.37]And I couldn't love you perfectly with that fear in my head
[02:14.70]So I perilously had to face the danger
[02:17.06]
[02:18.02]So I could come back and love you whole instead
[02:21.15]All of your soul I said
[02:22.56]
[02:23.19]So I could make it better
[02:24.81]
[02:25.90]I had to lose myself had to lose myself
[02:29.18]So I could love you better
[02:31.01]
[02:32.00]Had to lose myself had to lose myself
[02:35.85]So I could love you better
[02:37.36]
[02:38.84]Lose myself in love
[02:41.06]And that's just the way
[02:42.75]
[02:43.63]And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
[02:46.04]
[02:46.70]Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
[02:48.87]
[02:49.89]Whole lot a things I just had to work through
[02:52.83]Time to heal and restore my self-worth too
[02:55.19]
[02:56.14]Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
[02:58.31]
[02:59.40]Cried a whole lot of years I suffered quietly
[03:01.48]
[03:02.53]And though it may have taken years I can finally
[03:05.79]Tell you that you were always on my mind
[03:09.03]I had to lose myself so I could love you better

[03:16.87]So I could love you better
[03:18.44]

[03:23.01]
[03:23.53]So I could love you better
[03:25.25]
[03:26.47]Had to lose myself
[03:28.81]And that's just the way
[03:29.91]
[03:30.93]Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
[03:33.51]
