I'm not ready to watch you grow up
I'm scared of what you'll become
Because I know what it means to hurt
I couldn't stop you from hurting
You know, I want you to be happy
And I want to see you fall in love
And even if I want to protect you
Sometimes I'll have to watch you fall
And if girls seem fragile to you
Know you've got a strength inside you unfolding
I'll share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
And I'm learning every day to grow gentle
I think I'm not done yet, I'm waiting for it to bloom
I'll share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
Now what I hope with all my heart
Is that you won't make the same mistake
I know it's not simple to face the mirrors
That you'll sometimes cry in the dark
I went through it a thousand times before you
It's still inside me
And if it's hard not to look at
Others without feeling forgotten
You need to know I understand you
That growing up sometimes takes time
And if girls seem fragile to you
Know you've got a strength inside you unfolding
I'll share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
And I'm learning every day to grow gentle
I think I'm not done yet, I'm waiting for it to bloom
I'll share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
Now what I hope with all my heart
It's that you won't make the same mistake
I'll share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
