(Verse 1) I used to shrink to fit the silence Wore doubt like it was mine to keep Hid behind a thousand smiles Afraid to ever dive too deep You showed up with no agenda Just honesty in every word You saw the fight behind my laughter And helped me feel like I was heard (Pre-Chorus) You never tried to fix the cracks Just held a mirror to my light Taught me there's power in my past And I don't have to always fight (Chorus) Now I see me through new eyes You gave me the truth, not lullabies Taught me love don’t have to hurt That I could write my own self-worth You stood beside, not out in front Let me learn just what I want And I found strength I never knew All 'cause I saw me like you do (Verse 2) I used to chase approval’s shadow Think I had to earn my place But you saw gold beneath the rubble And called it out without a trace No saving, no pretending Just a friend who wouldn’t fold You made space for my becoming In a world that felt so cold (Pre-Chorus) You didn’t draw the map for me Just pointed out the stars above And in your quiet certainty I found my voice, I found self-love (Chorus) Now I see me through new eyes You gave me the truth, not lullabies Taught me love don’t have to hurt That I could write my own self-worth You stood beside, not out in front Let me learn just what I want And I found strength I never knew All 'cause I saw me like you do (Bridge) You never needed thanks or praise Just proud to see me find my way And now I rise, not just survive With every step, I feel alive (Final Chorus) Yeah, I see me through new eyes You gave me the truth, not lullabies Taught me love begins with me And now I stand so fearlessly You walked with me until I knew I could believe that I was true And I found strength I never knew All 'cause I saw me like you do (Outro) Yeah, I see me now— The way you always knew I could somehow
