Selah - Ms. Lauryn Hill

Nothing can be done against the truth

No matter how we remain in denial, yeah

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

And this deception, I wear it like a skin

Dying 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

Lieing to myself and everybody else

Refusing to admit my right was wrong

And then He came

Selah, oh and it means

Praise and meditation, and then He came

Selah, oh and it means

Did you 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 behaves 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 cause it’s not reality

Oh what’s left of me, I beg you desperately

Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me

Please save me from myself, I need you, save me from myself

Please save me from myself so I can heal

The choices that I’ve 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

Save me from myself, please save me from myself so I can heal

And then He came

And then He came, then He came, then He came

And then He

And then He came
