Hill, Lauryn - 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

  2. S.... G....

    I haven't heard this song since 6th grade soooo that's about four years ago. Damn I miss this song

  3. D.... S....

    Love this song!! ❤️💙

    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 it dirty
    Truth was they never did deserve me 
    No!

    I had to lose myself
    So I could love you better
    I had to lose myself, had to lose myself
    So I could love you better
    I Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
    So I could 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 a told me just me because!
    I'm worth receiving it 
    But all I ever wanted was love 
    There's something awkward about the selflessness 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 could love you better
    I had to lose myself, had to lose myself
    So I could love you better
    Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
    So I could love you better
    Had to lose myself in love
    And that's just the way it is'

    I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
    And I couldn't love you perfectly with fear in my head
    So I peerlessly had to face the danger
    So I could come back and love you whole instead
    All of your soul I said!
    So I could love you better

    I had to lose myself
    So I could love you better
    I had to lose myself, had to lose myself
    So I could love you better
    Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
    So I could make it better
    Had to lose myself in love
    And that's just the way it is'

    be-Sec:
    And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
    Couldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
    Whole lot a things I just had to work through
    Time to heal and restore myself worth too
    Confrontation of my fears and anxiety 
    Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly 
    And though it may have taken years I can finally!
    Tell you that you were always on my mind!

    I had to lose myself
    So I could make it better
    I had to lose myself, had to lose myself
    So I could make it better
    Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
    So I could make it better
    Lose myself in love
    And that was just the way!

    Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
    Great love to absorb all the misuse I did
    Hey baby it's not an excuse I give.
    And I'd do it all again because for you I live

    Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did
    Great love to absorb all the abuse I did
    Hey baby it's not an excuse I give.
    And I'd do it all again because for you I live

    I had to lose myself so I could make it better
    I had to lose myself, had to lose myself
    So I could make it better
    Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
    So I could make it better
    Lose myself in love
    And that was just the way!
    And that was just the way it is'

    2019???

    d.... w....

    This is a classic that I have to keep revisiting.

  6. D.... D....

    One of my favorite Lauryn Hill songs, I love how honest she is in her lyrics

  7. e.... ....

    this song is beautiful. the lyrics are earth shattering. the depth and convincing in the voice are heart rendering. the way its some wierd fast beat to a slow song is unheard of so its one of a kind. the only tragedy of this song is its a lie. its wrong. shes wrong. which seems wierd coming from this icon who we think of as so deep, and so almost some kind of deeper thinker than most of us and we should listen to. shes fucking wrong. some of the words are true and touch deep which really makes it harder to point out the error. dont ever lose yourself in love. love would never ask you to lose yourself. dont absorb abuse. thats her truth i guess, but its not the truth.

    I love Marsha's better something bout the slow pace of the song...

    V.... F....

    T.B.H I feel u but we got to think Lauryn for making such a so for marsha to remake

    V.... F....

    I like this one more lol Something about the upbeat sound makes me happy. Her's is good but Ehhh lol boring.

    V.... F....

    I love everything about Lauryn's original version for mainly that exact reason: it's original. It's raw and you can hear and feel it in her voice. There is an imperfection and emotional element in the way that Lauryn delivers. That makes it so, so perfect. I get the feels every time I listen to this record; the way her voice quivers in that 4th verse (be-sec) is incomparable. The tempo, the way the beat drops out at the end so that you hear only her voice do the run. It's perfect.

    V.... F....

    Get yo slow beat depressed ass out of here. Learn to be happy.

    V.... F....
