I Believed It

I remember what you said to me that fateful day
You told me that we were through
And for a while I blamed myself for everything
And I was blue, youd be too
Then I came to realize the circumstances
That brought me to a revelation of my life
And now I know I dont ever wanna be
Some foolish mans wife
Not for my life
I believed it when
You told me that you cared
And I believed it when
You said that youd be there
And I believed it when
You told me youd be true
And I believed in you
Verse 2:
I believed it when you said I wasnt good enough for you
When you said that I was fortunate and blessed
When you told me, that I was only just an ordinary girl
And that you, you were the best
Now some time has passed and I know something deep
inside my soul
I cant put my trust in ordinary men
Your insecurities and hang-ups just confused the truth
But now I see
With clarity
Chorus
Bridge:
I couldnt understand why you would say those hurtful
things to me
Why you would put me down so you could feel so high
And I allowed those words to strangle all the life I had in me
But they were all just lies
And now times have changed and I discern the things that
people say
Because I know that I am valuable and loved
I dont allow the lack of confidence that held me in my youth
I know the truth
Verse 3:
Its been a long road in discovering the beauty that is me
And even longer is the journey that awaits
But with the knowledge that Im created in the image of
our God
I am free
Im truly me
Chorus x 2 (rubato out)
