|
I remember what you said to me that fateful day |
|
You told me that we were through |
|
And for a while I blamed myself for everything |
|
And I was blue, you'd be too |
|
Then I came to realize the circumstances |
|
That brought me to a revelation of my life |
|
And now I know I don't ever wanna be |
|
Some foolish man's wife |
|
Not for my life |
|
I believed it when |
|
You told me that you cared |
|
And I believed it when |
|
You said that you'd be there |
|
And I believed it when |
|
You told me you'd be true |
|
And I believed in you |
|
Verse 2: |
|
I believed it when you said I wasn't good enough for you |
|
When you said that I was fortunate and blessed |
|
When you told me, that I was only just an ordinary girl |
|
And that you, you were the best |
|
Now some time has passed and I know something deep |
|
inside my soul |
|
I can't put my trust in ordinary men |
|
Your insecurities and hang-ups just confused the truth |
|
But now I see |
|
With clarity |
|
Chorus |
|
Bridge: |
|
I couldn't understand why you would say those hurtful |
|
things to me |
|
Why you would put me down so you could feel so high |
|
And I allowed those words to strangle all the life I had in me |
|
But they were all just lies |
|
And now times have changed and I discern the things that |
|
people say |
|
Because I know that I am valuable and loved |
|
I don't allow the lack of confidence that held me in my youth |
|
I know the truth |
|
Verse 3: |
|
It's been a long road in discovering the beauty that is me |
|
And even longer is the journey that awaits |
|
But with the knowledge that I'm created in the image of |
|
our God |
|
I am free |
|
I'm truly me |
|
