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
