I grew up learning silence
Taught to swallow every ache
Thought if I could just be perfect
Someone'd stay and I'd feel safe
So I clung to broken people
Let them tell me who to be
Called it love when it was hurting
'Cause hurt felt like home to me
I kept giving all my pieces
Hoping someone'd make me whole
But every time it all collapsed
I was left with my own soul
And that's when I finally saw clearly
All the things I thought I needed
Were never gonna set me free
I was searching for a feeling
No one else could give to me
Through the heartbreak and the healing
Came the truth I couldn't see:
I just needed to love me
I just needed to love me
I ran through all my patterns
Let the wrong ones shape my days
Tried to earn a sense of worth
In all the most familiar ways
And one night I hit the bottom
Every fear came pouring out
In the quiet of that breaking
Something shifted through the doubt
I had blamed myself for years
Thought I wasn't built for more
But the strength I'd been denying
Was what pulled me up off the floor
And that's when I finally saw clearly
All the things I thought I needed
Were never gonna set me free
I was searching for a feeling
No one else could give to me
Through the heartbreak and the healing
Came the truth I couldn't see:
I just needed to love me
I just needed to love me
Now I wake up feeling steady
Not afraid of who I am
Learned to give myself the kindness
I kept searching for in them
I can hold my own reflection
With a softness I once feared
And the love I thought was missing
Is the love that's growing here
Now I look back at that girl
Who tried so hard just to belong
