Before I Was Strong

I didnt shineI didnt knowWhich way my lifeWas meant to go

Empty pocketsSecondhand daysDreams too bigNo words to say

I was lateI was unsureYou still waitedAt the door

When I had nothingLeft to proveYou believedBefore I moved

You loved meBefore I was strongBefore I knewWhere I belong

When I had nothingBut my nameYou stayedYou stayed the same

I spoke in doubtsI walked in fearYou saw somethingI couldnt hear

While I questionedEvery planYou held steadyWho I am

I was smallIn my own eyesYou saw furtherPast the lines

When the futureWas unclearYou stood right here

You loved meBefore I was strongBefore I knewWhere I belong

When I had nothingBut my nameYou stayedYou stayed the same

If Im standingHere todayIts becauseYou didnt walk away

Not for the shineNot for the crownYou loved meWhen I was down

Before the riseBefore the proofI was alreadyEnough for you

You loved meBefore I was meBefore the worldCould even see

When I had nothingLeft to claimYou stayedYou stayed the same

If I am someoneNow its trueIt startedBecause of you
