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 a way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I see
[Chorus 1]
It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real
[Chorus 2]
Now I’m breathin’ for the first time
And I’m leavin, all this behind
I’ve become, what I am because of you
It was you
I’m so sorry ’bout the ways
ut I can’t take away my past
But you love me anyway
And now I wanna 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 breathin’ for the first time
And I’m leavin, all this behind
And taught me how to 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
Can’t you see
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I’ve become what I am
Because of you
It was you
