WSJ Café: Sharon Van Etten, 'I Love You But I'm Lost'

[@drjimmy73]

one of the best performances of this song. heartbreaking and beautiful..

[@alquinn8576]

yeah too bad Sharon happy now; sad Sharon was the best thing ever. glad I saw her live a few times during sad-Sharon phase, but sadly not for Are We There tour

[@ryma.ilhem43]

She looks so open, so vulnerable in this song. I’m so grateful to Sharon for her honesty, thanks for making sense of my own pain and vulnerability.

[@vsmith23]

I honestly can not listen to this performance of this incredibly beautiful and haunting song without tearing up. Have more personal lyrics ever been written? Thank you Sharon.

[@sami-yc3xj]

it gets me every time

You read the answers by the shadows on the wall, we could be great Drive myself crazy with mistakes, you know I'm better every day Tell me there's something I can change Recall I know what a sanctuary is Help me deserve you sing me praise You love me, but you'll change Disappointed in a lover because they're the only way To know somebody in and out, after a while it's a real challenge Come in here and be yourself again I love you, but I'm not somebody who takes shots See me after I recoil I'm better than I know There is room to grow Tear stains on the last page Better leave 'em Time will tell and I'll be back Tear stains, I believe it I'm in Houston, I can't read my lines Most of all I find it strange I believed them Turn me into something great, you know that that's the only way Promises that we forgot, I suppose that we were lost It's turning into something we can change I love you but I'm lost Between the pain and cost I hold myself a lot I love you but I'm lost I love you but I'm lost I love you but I'm lost I love you but I'm lost I love you but I'm lost A love that bears no cross

[@colettebarlow92]

[@mouija1450]

Whatever partners you've been emotionally attached to, you need a new set Sharon. You're a real thoughtful, genuine girl. I can get down with some Early Day Miners if you're feeling hella bummed, and we can catch some feels.

[@gubbawubba]

[@maryaquintanaernst293]

.....sigh

[@miry4235]

I watched her interview with Face Culture, where she mentions listening to a lot of Neil Young...I can really hear that in this song, now that I consider...I used to love this kind of stuff, but I can't listen to it any longer, much too sentimental - melodramatic even - like Neil Young for that matter, I stopped listening to him a long time ago also...I find this kind of music really quite boring now, like it belongs to a bygone era!

[@alquinn8576]

cool story bro; hope you get help taming that grubby beard, btw
