Lauryn Hill: Selah

Nothing can be done against the truth No matter how we remain in denial Wasting time Replacing time With each empty excuse But that'll only work a little while Coping with despair Knowing you're not there Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool So I blame it on the sun Run away from everyone Hoping to escape this ridicule Trapped in misery Wrapped so miserably In this deception that I'm wearin' like a skin And I aim to maintain Oh I keep trying to explain A heart that never loved me to begin Oh I'm such a mess I have no choice but to confess That I've been desperately trying to belong Lying to myself And everybody else Refusing to admit my right was wrong And then he came Selah And it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah And it means Did ya think about that? And then he came Selah Oh and it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah Oh and it means That it is seen How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots? My guilty heart behaved so foolishly This treason from within That reasons with my sin Won't be happy till it sees the death of me Selfishly addicted To a life that I depicted Conflicted cuz it's not reality Oh what's left of me I beg you desperately Cause me to agree to what I know is best for me Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal The choices that I have made Oh have been nothing but mistakes What a wasted use of space Should I die before I wake? In all of my religion I've fortified this prison Obligated to obey The demands of bad decisions Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal And then he came Selah And it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah And it means Did ya think about that? And he came Selah Oh and it means Meditation And then he came Selah Oh and it means That it is seen And then he came And then he came Then he came then he came then he came And then he came And then he came
