I Found Me

Verse 1
You looked me in my eyes and called it love,
But your hands and your words never matched up.
You said I was too young to understand,
Like my heart was something you could command.
You made me question everything I knew,
Turned my skies into shades of blue.
Every time I tried to find my voice,
You made me feel like I had no choice.
Pre-Chorus
I believed every lie you said,
Till I almost lost myself instead.
Chorus
I lost a piece of my heart,
Before my life could even start.
Held my tears where nobody could see,
Wondering why love kept hurting me.
You broke my trust, you broke my soul,
Tried to make me feel so small.
But the woman you tried to destroy…
Is the woman standing tall.
Verse 2
You searched for love in somebody else,
While I was breaking by myself.
You blamed my age, you blamed my mind,
Like wisdom only came with time.
But pain became my teacher too,
And every scar revealed the truth.
Love should never leave you bruised,
Love should never leave you used.
Bridge
Then the walls came crashing down,
Your choices finally caught up now.
While you were facing all you’d done,
I packed my life and chose to run.
A brand-new city, a brand-new sky,
I finally learned I could survive.
I didn’t leave because I was weak…
I left because I chose me.
Final Chorus
I still carry the child I never got to hold,
A love that’s written deep inside my soul.
Some wounds don’t fade, they just become
The reason you refuse to run.
You don’t get to write my ending,
You don’t get to steal my name.
I’m more than every tear I cried,
More than all the hurt and pain.
Now when I look into the mirror,
I finally recognize my face.
You tried to bury who I was…
But I rose with grace.
Outro
I was never too young to know love.
You were just too lost to give it.
Now my heart belongs to peace…
And that’s how I’ll always live it.
