You taught me my work defined my worth And I bought into it Took your advice down to the word You suggested I should lose some weight To like the way I looked in pictures I didn't argue with ya And now I don't know who I am without you Even though I hated who I was around you You took my weekends and my summers And my golden years I didn't ever think it strange That I broke my body showing up for you Trying to prove something And you never did the same And now I don't know who I am without you Even though I hated who I was around you Ooh I changed my clothes and my makeup I changed my friends and my dreams just Trying to be what you wanted 'cause I thought that that's what I wanted, ah I held my tongue and my temper Convinced myself you knew better And never thought about what I wanted Just so I could be what you wanted, ah And now I don't know who I am without you Even though I hated who I was around you
