Verse 1 I tried to be softer I tried to be sweet I tried to be someone You wanted to keep I laughed when it hurt Stayed calm when I cried I made myself easy And called it love at the time Pre-Chorus But mirrors don’t lie When you look too long I didn’t lose you I was losing myself all along Chorus I was someone else’s version of me Smiling in places I wanted to leave Holding my breath just to keep the peace That wasn’t love, that was losing me Now I’m coming back quietly To the girl I was meant to be You didn’t break me completely You just showed me who not to be Verse 2 I used to think leaving Was proof that I failed But staying too long Was a deeper kind of farewell Now I wear my silence Like a brand new skin I don’t need your approval To feel whole again Bridge Thank you for the lesson Even if it burned Some love is a mirror Some love is a turn Final Chorus I was someone else’s version of me Smiling in places I wanted to leave Holding my breath just to keep the peace That wasn’t love, that was losing me Now I’m coming back quietly To the girl I was meant to be You didn’t break me completely You just showed me who not to be
