I come from a very small country as far away from Lauryn as we could probably get. This song affected me because I realised that the issues in love that I face are worldwide. There is no barrier on gender, income, race or sexuality when it comes to matters of the heart. This song to me confronts not only the physical abuse but the emotional abuse in the lyric that says "And when I try to walk away you'd hurt yourself to make me stay, This is crazy" . When you are in it you know that it is all insane but not even that provides an exit. Also the lyrics "Cry for me,cry for me, you said you'd die for me, Give to me,give to me, why wont you live for me" Is a true expression of not knowing what you've got till its gone. If you are willing to give your life for someone why wouldn't you live your life for that person.
