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, you'd be too

Then I came to realize the circumstances

That brought me to a revelation of my life

And now I know I don't ever wanna be

Some foolish man's wife

Not for my life

I believed it when

You told me that you cared

And I believed it when

You said that you'd be there

And I believed it when

You told me you'd be true

And I believed in you

Verse 2:

I believed it when you said I wasn't 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 can't put my trust in ordinary men

Your insecurities and hang-ups just confused the truth

But now I see

With clarity

Chorus

Bridge:

I couldn't 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 don't allow the lack of confidence that held me in my youth

I know the truth

Verse 3:

It's been a long road in discovering the beauty that is me

And even longer is the journey that awaits

But with the knowledge that I'm created in the image of

our God

I am free

I'm truly me

Chorus x 2 (rubato out)
