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
And tired of all the shame that I felt.
But you showed me a way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I sing...
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 leaving all this behind.
I've 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 love me anyway.
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 leaving 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 leaving all this behind
I've become what I am because of you.
I can't see the writing on the wall,
This time that gets to crawl away from me.
And I've become what I am because of you.
It was you.
