_____
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
_____
But I believe in you
_____
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
_____
But I believe in you
_____
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
