It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
I was sick of all the pain
Tired of all the shame that I felt
But you showed me the way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I see
It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
Now I’m breathing for the first time
And I’m leavin all this behind
I’ll become what I am because of you
It was you
I’m so sorry about the ways
That I can’t take away my past
But you loved me anyway
And now I want to do
Everything for you that I can
Even though it won’t erase
The foolish things that I’ve done
Things that blinded me
But now I see
It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
Now I’m breathing for the first time
And I’m leavin all this behind
And I’ll stand for what I know is real
So how can I make this up to you
I’ll fight and I’ll push and I’ll strive
Now that I’m living my life for you
I’ll fight and I’ll push and I’ll strive
Can’t you see
It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
Now I’m breathing for the first time
And I’m leavin all this behind
I’ll become what I am because of you
I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I’ll become what I am because of you
It was you
