It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

I was sick of all the pain
Tired of all the shame that I felt
But you showed me a way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I see

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

[Chorus:]
Now I´m breathing for the first time
And I´m leaving, all this behind
I´ve become, what I am because of you
It was you

I´m so sorry ´bout the ways
But I can´t take away my past
But you love me anyway
And now I wanna do
Everything for you that I can
Even though it won´t erase
The foolish things that I´ve done
Things that blinded me
But now I see

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I´m breathing for the first time
And I´m leaving, all this behind
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

So how can I make this up to you
I´ll fight and I´ll push and I´ll strive
Now that I´m living my life for you
I´ll fight and I´ll push and I´ll strive
Can´t you see?

It was you
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I´m breathing for the first time
And I´m leaving, all this behind
I´ve become, what I am because of you
It was you

I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I´ve become what I am
Because of you
It was you
