On a deeper level this is a song about the Spiritual battle in all of us. She's singing to God.

I love how her voice cracks and shackes its so genuine u can hear the emotion in her voice lauryn is a legend
@SociALmisFiT78
The voice is broken, passionate, hurting, and speaking from the heart from real genuine feelings and truth, and still pitch perfect. This lady is, in my opinion, one of, if not, the, greatest female vocalist of our generation.
@auddiagranberry5387
I love how everyone took their own understanding from this song.
@alikahjohn5290
I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS SONG CRYING & PLEADING FOR PEACE. YALL, I FINALLY FOUND IT & I'M SO THANKFUL. JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOULD KNOW IT GETS BETTER. LOVE YALL♥
@Antonette876
It’s so painful being in love with someone who only wants to break you. But it’s so powerful when you finally break free with the help of the Divine. God really took me out a situation that took extreme strength and resilience. God restored me in the places I didn’t realize had ran low over the years.
@kylahenry9233
No one speaks on how hard it is to let go of someone. Lauryn was basically going through trying to let go of her somewhat toxic relationship that she cherished so dearly to where she knew she needed to let go to find true love and truly experiment with her self. To save her self. She wanted to move on without forgetting the memories they both shared. With meeting someone new and being scared to love them because of that strong toxic commitment she has with him. She’s tolerated enough and wants more but is trapped and needs time to find peace of mind. Lauryn is me.

My mom gave me this CD for my birthday before she died and the songs stay close to my heart

That voice crack may have been the most beautiful thing I've ever heard 😭😩God has been on my mind so much lately , I just want us to be close . I could use a hug right now , a good praying session , a few shed tears , and that feeling of love and acceptance you can only get from him
@youngb2655
She’s crying out to God 🙏🏽
@becomingbrandnew2149
I cried hearing this for the first time today. I’ve lost my peace of mind. Due to mental illness and bad relationships. I’ve lost a lot. However thank you to God and self resilience I am healing. I’m finally finding my peace of mind again. My self worth and confidence is coming back.. thank you God.. I love you.. it’s just me and you.. the peace I have now is worth everything I’ve lost.. ♥️

"I Gotta Find Peace Of Mind" I gotta find peace of mind I know another cord... I gotta find peace of mind See, this what that voice in your head says When you try to get peace of mind... I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible He says there's no me without him, please help me forget about him He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory Constantly holding me, constantly holding me I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused, mmmm I need to tell I'm, I'm undone because, mmmm He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible To finally be in love, and know the real meaning of A lasting relationship, not based on ownership I trust every part of you, cuz all that I... All that you say you do You love me despite myself, sometimes I fight myself I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do With someone so insecure, someone so immature Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me You made my desire pure, you made my desire pure Just tell me what to say, I can't find the words to say Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity All that I've known is gone, all I was building on I don't wanna walk with you, how do I talk to you Touch my mouth with your hands, touch my mouth with your hands Oh I wanna understand, the meaning of your embrace I know now I have to face, the temptations of my past Please don't let me disgrace, where my devotion lays Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of? Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of? You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible He says it's improbable, but I know it's tangeable He says it's not grabbable, but I know it's haveable Cuz anything's possible, oh anything is possible Please come free my mind, please come meet my mind Can you see my mind, oh Won't you come free my mind? Oh I know it's possible Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey Anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yeeey Oh free!

@NateBriggs1212
One of the purest performances by any artist ever. She is a treasure. Still brings me to tears after all these years.
@nikkiclark8123
Anyone else start to cry when she does? That raw emotion hits me every time.
@cheriechez
Recently just found God and accepted Jesus Christ into my life 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️ Praying every day for Him to soften my heart and head and let me know him! When Lauryn says “what a merciful, wonderful God” I feel it every single time. Amen!!!
@shabarithelink
"A lasting relationship not bassed on ownership" I needed to hear this song.
@Jazminfields
Anybody notice she's talking to god... he's her peace of mind ... taking the old her and making her new again.. giving her a second chance ... destroying that voice in her head ,,, destroying the devils power over her.. I had that voice in my head, it's not fun... it made me see all the bad , tormented me and reminded me of my past self... she asks him not to be mad at her, and to touch her mouth with his hands ... she knows the truth and nothing can hold her from his love... she's in love with god and god loves her despite herself... the old her is left behind. he truely can break any stronghold... he truely can free your mind from anything... don't listen to that voice.. watch the video over and listen to her speak to god... none of the lyrics is about a spouse or a loved one.... it all towards god..:🙏🏻

This past month I experienced "heartbreak" for the first time. Emotional devastation. For days I just cried and cried and cried. A few hours ago, I truly believed that I was forsaken by God. Then, I remembered this song. I laid in bed and listened to this song from start to finish, while uttering every lyric. I've always adored this song, realizing that it was a gem amongst the pebbles of YouTube. But it was tonight, during my darkest hour that the words of this song took on extraordinary meaning. It was as if the hand of Yah himself came to deliver me from the abyss of eternal confusion. This song became a prophetic word as it guided me to freedom. For the first time I have fathomed the true meaning of Grace! It is unbelievable.
@kimahector9781
She is singing the epitome of my life. I thought I was the only one going through heinous mental anguish and struggles to find the higher me through CHRIST. I thought GOD had gave up on me until I discovered this GEM. Hailing from the island of Trinidad and Tobago.
