Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am not my anxious thoughts
Or the smile I sometimes fake
I am not the lie that was told to me
At such a young age
I am not my best achievements
Or the titles to my name
I am not my insecurities
Or the lines on my face
If You took it all away who would I be
The truth that I find underneath
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You fight for
The one You gave Your life for
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You love
I am more than just a number
Counted in or counted out
I am more than just a mother
Trying to keep the house from burning down
I am not my shame and anger
Or what all these feelings say
Not my brightest future or my darkest day
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You fight for
The one You gave Your life for
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
You can take it all away
Everything
It still wouldn't change who I'd be
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You fight for
The one You gave Your life for
And if that's all I ever was
That would be enough
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
You can take it all away
Everything
It still wouldn't change who I'd be
