You Taught Me Me

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Standing before the mirror, I used to blame Why I could never be like anyone else [Verse 1] I was used to putting myself last Forgetting I too deserve to be held You didn't reshape me into someone else Just showed me how brightly I can shine [Pre-Chorus] Each time I put myself down lightly You repeat what you truly see [Chorus] You taught me me How to love the self I used to hide You taught me me Because of you I met myself [Verse 2] Now I can smile at my reflection No longer hunting for flaws like before For you taught me one lesson Loving others starts with loving yourself [Chorus] You taught me me How to love the self I used to hide You taught me me Because of you I met myself [Bridge] I thank you not for flowers But because you gave me back to me A girl who'd lost herself [Chorus] You taught me me How to love the self I used to hide You taught me me Because of you I met myself [Outro] I love you Because you taught me to love myself first [Fade Out] [End]
