Found Myself

I was running in circles

Trying to be someone new

Every step that I took

Was just leading back to you

I gave more than I should have

Let your doubt shape my view

I kept shrinking my light

Just to fit into you

Then I looked in the mirror

And I finally saw

I was chasing your shadow

When I had so much more

I found myself when I let you go

Started standing taller on my own

I don't need your words to feel strong

I was right here all along

I found my voice, I found my way

Every step feels brighter today

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I found myself when I stopped chasing you

Now I breathe a little deeper

When I walk through the night

All the weight I was holding

Doesn't feel so heavy inside

Every doubt that you left me

Every fear I outgrew

Turned into the reason

I believe in me too

I don't look back for answers

I already know

Everything I was missing

Was letting you go

I found myself when I let you go

Started standing taller on my own

I don't need your words to feel strong

I was right here all along

I found my voice, I found my way

Every step feels brighter today

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I found myself when I stopped chasing you

No more waiting on your call

No more feeling half at all

I don't need to prove my shine

I was glowing the whole time

I found myself, now I'm rising up

Got my heart back, got my trust

I don't fade when you're gone

I'm stronger moving on

I see clearer, I feel new

Everything starts when I choose

To believe in what I do

I found myself when I stopped chasing you

Now the mirror smiles back

Yeah, I like who I am
