I still remember how it all began I was broken, lying on the ground Then you showed up and gave me hope And suddenly the weight was less to bear You made my life feel lighter Just by being part of it But you held up a mirror And showed me wounds I didn't know I had For you, I swallowed the silence Took every little crumb you gave I kept trying to understand Kept finding reasons to stay But every cut you left behind Was still a choice you made And if I was the biggest fool Then I'll wear this crown of ashes I gave you every piece of me And I regret nothing I was who I am I was who I am You hurt me in a thousand ways But I kept telling myself She's just tired Her world's too heavy It took me time to face the truth It wasn't chaos, it was choice Maybe I was asking too much Maybe the problem was me But deep down I know I never did you wrong I gave I searched I waited I respected I was kind But none of it was enough None of it was ever enough And if I was the biggest fool Then I'll wear this crown of ashes I gave you every piece of me And I regret nothing I was who I am I was who I am My heart's at peace 'Cause in the end I was who I am
