Girl That I Am

Hah, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Ah, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo

I heard the talk I wish I never listened
It's so hard letting go of it
The sharpest knives are whispered harsh opinions
And what did I have to show for it?
Like a glass hits the floor
My world was shattered and broken
Couple years I was coping and holding in

I had no words
Couldn't make a sound
I took my time
But I'm here right now

I spent so long inside my head
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
In fear one day they'd be the end of me
And all at once it all makes sense
I had to break, I had to bend
I had to lose myself to finally see
I am the girl that I am
Because of the girl I used to be

Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I bared my truth, not knowing what would follow
And I would do it all again
Time heals all wounds but leaves a pretty scar though
Stronger than I've ever been

'Cause I found my words
So I'll sing 'em loud
Guess all the hurt
Got me here now

I spent so long inside my head
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
In fear one day they'd be the end of me
And all at once it all makes sense
I had to trust to feel again
I had to let you in to finally see
I am the girl that I am
Because of the girl I used to be

(It all makes, it all, it all makes, it all makes sense)
'Cause I found my words
So I'll sing 'em loud
(I had to let you in, to let you in, to let you see)
Guess all the hurt
Got me here now

Spent so long inside my head
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
In fear one day they'd be the end of me
I am the girl that I am
Because of what I went through
I am the girl that I am
Partly because of you
I am the girl that I am
Because of the girl I used to be
