[Intro – slow build] You met me at my lowest You met me when I was broken Before he came along My heart was hollow as a pan You met me when I didn't know myself You traced the soft in me Run and tell your mama I have found a gentle man You touched the scars in me When all I showed was beauty You held my shaking hands You found the light in the dark Before he came along I was goin' to hell Truly for a time I was not doing well Crawled into a hole where I made myself a cell He said, "I've seen the darkest places Come lay your fears down, girl 'Cause I love you as you are" [Pre-Chorus – lift] You saw the real in me When I was caught in the fantasy You saw the good in me You met me at my lowest You met me when I was broken [Chorus – first hit] You said I could be strong You said I could be anything You believed in me You believed in me Beneath the cottonwood He holds me in his arms His whisper on my skin He says I'm beautiful And I believe him (You believed in me) [Drop / Hook] And now I can be strong And now I can be anything You believed in me You believed in me He says I'm beautiful And I believe him Yes, I believe him [Bridge – darker break] At times I am a snake and I bite the hand that feeds me You saw the flaws in me When all I saw was ugly And I pray that I will change So I do not mislead him He pulls me to his chest And I breathe the warmth of him You met me at my lowest You found the light in the dark [Bridge – rise] And he says that I am strong And I believe him (You said I could be strong) He says that I am good And I believe him [Final Chorus – call & response / reprise] You said I could be strong (And I believe him) You said I could be anything (Yes, I believe him) You believed in me Beneath the cottonwood You believed in me He holds me in his arms And now I can be strong He says I'm beautiful And now I can be anything And I believe him You believed in me I believe him You believed in me Yes, I believe him
