The Past Seventeen Years of My Life Summed Up in Four Minutes
This is the place I call my home
This is the place where I learned to be alone
The fires raged inside my head
I was lying in my bed
The windy trees all creaked and moaned
This is the place I lost myself
This is the place where I tried to be someone else
Put on a show
Put on a smile
Make them forget I'm not as wild
Put my soul high up on a shelf
But I know who I am now
Cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
But I can be myself with them
Cuz I find myself in You
This is the place I learned to fight
This is the place I learned not to hide from the light
Cuz who I am is so much more
Than a girl running from her own mistakes
Pretending she's alright
This is the place where I found God
Where I met the one who sees through my facade
It's been over a decade now
I'm still figuring out how
To express how much I am in awe
Ohhhhh but I know who I am now
Ohhhhh cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
But I can be myself with them
Because I find myself in You
Ohhhhh because I find myself in you
Yes I know who I am now
Cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
I can be myself with them
Cuz I find myself in you
This is the place where I learned to be alone
The fires raged inside my head
I was lying in my bed
The windy trees all creaked and moaned
This is the place I lost myself
This is the place where I tried to be someone else
Put on a show
Put on a smile
Make them forget I'm not as wild
Put my soul high up on a shelf
But I know who I am now
Cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
But I can be myself with them
Cuz I find myself in You
This is the place I learned to fight
This is the place I learned not to hide from the light
Cuz who I am is so much more
Than a girl running from her own mistakes
Pretending she's alright
This is the place where I found God
Where I met the one who sees through my facade
It's been over a decade now
I'm still figuring out how
To express how much I am in awe
Ohhhhh but I know who I am now
Ohhhhh cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
But I can be myself with them
Because I find myself in You
Ohhhhh because I find myself in you
Yes I know who I am now
Cuz who I am doesn't belong to smiles and crowds
I was afraid to be myself
To take my soul off of the shelf
I can be myself with them
Cuz I find myself in you
