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


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
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


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
I've become, what I am because of you
It was 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
