Fly Lyrics- Lauryn Hill's "Lose Myself"

You know what’s truly sad? The long term effect that a broken heart can have. The once proud love enthusiast can forever be transformed into a shell of their former selves, never to believe in love again. I think Lauryn Hill knows what I’m talking about, as she shares her frustrations in “Lose Myself,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Feature.

The 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 that he never did deserve me no…

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

I had to lose myself
so I could love you better

Lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is

Couldn’t tell me I was loved when I needed it
And all I ever wanted was love
Should have told me because, I’m worth receiving it
And all I ever wanted was love

There’s something awesome 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
so I could love you better

Lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is
