It Was You

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 bleeding 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 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 bleeding 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 bleeding for the first time

And I'm leaving all this behind

I've 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've become what I am because of you

It was you
