Song by Lauryn Hill<br /><br>

Nothing can be done against the truth<br>

No matter how we may be in denial<br>

Wasting time<br>

Replacing time<br>

With each empty excuse<br>

But that'll only work a little while<br>

Coping with despair<br>

Knowing you're not there<br>

Ashamed to just admit<br>

I've been a fool<br>

So I blame it on the Son<br>

Run away from everyone<br>

Hoping to escape this ridicule<br>

Trapped in misery<br>

Wrapped so miserably<br>

And this deception I wear it like a skin<br>

<br>

And I aim to mantain<br>

Oh I keep trying to explain<br>

A heart that never loved me to begin<br>

Oh I'm such a mess<br>

I have no choice but to confess<br>

That I've been desperately trying to belong<br>

Lying to myself<br>

And everybody else<br>

Refusing to admit my right was wrong<br>

<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

And it means<br>

Praise and meditation<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

And it means<br>

Did you think about that?<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

Oh and it means<br>

Praise and meditation<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

Oh and it means<br>

That it is seen<br>

<br>

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?<br>

My guilty heart behaves so foolishly<br>

This treason from within<br>

That reasons with my sin<br>

Won't be happy til it sees the death of me<br>

Selfishly addicted<br>

To a life that I depicted<br>

Conflicted cuz it's not reality<br>

Oh what's left of me<br>

I beg you desperately<br>

Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me<br>

Please save me from myself<br>

I need you to save me from myself<br>

Please save me from myself so I can heal<br>

<br>

The choices I have made<br>

Oh have been nothing but mistakes<br>

What a wasted use of space<br>

Should I die before I wake?<br>

In all of my religion<br>

I've fortified this prison<br>

Obligated to oby<br>

The demands of bad decisions<br>

<br>

Please save me from myself<br>

I need you to save me from myself<br>

Please save me from myself so I can heal<br>

<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

And it means<br>

Praise and meditation<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

And it means<br>

Did you think about that?<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

Oh and it means<br>

Praise and meditation<br>

And then He came<br>

Selah<br>

Oh and it means<br>

That it is seen<br>

<br>

And then He came<br>

And then He came<br>

Then He came, then He came, then He came<br>

And then He came<br>

<br>

<br>
