[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh
Yeah yeah
Mmmmmm
I was lost in the shadows
Trying to find my way
Nobody saw the fire
Behind the smile on my face
[Verse 1]
I remember those long nights
Talking to the ceiling
Asking God if anybody
Could understand this feeling
Everybody saw the laughter
Nobody saw the pain
I was standing in the sunshine
While dancing in the rain
I was carrying the weight
Of dreams I couldn't hold
Trying to look so strong
While my heart was growing cold
Then you walked into my story
Like a light I couldn't hide
You saw something in me
That I never saw inside
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was losing faith
You kept believing
When I was giving up
You gave me reasons
Every broken piece
You never ran away
You stayed
[Chorus]
You saw me before I saw myself
Loved me when I needed help
When my world was falling down
You held the sky somehow
You saw gold beneath the dust
When I forgot who I was
Now every dream I chase is true
'Cause you saw me
Before I saw me too
[Post Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
You saw me
Oh-oh-oh
You believed
Oh-oh-oh
When nobody could see
You saw me
[Verse 2]
Now every road feels different
Every sunrise feels new
Funny how a single person
Can change your whole view
You taught my heart forgiveness
You taught my soul to trust
Turned all my fears to lessons
Turned my pain to love
Now I'm standing taller
Than I ever stood before
Not because I'm stronger
But because you're worth fighting for
Every scar became a chapter
Every chapter made me grow
And every step I took was leading
To the love I know
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was losing faith
You kept believing
When I was giving up
You gave me reasons
Every broken piece
You never ran away
You stayed
[Chorus]
You saw me before I saw myself
Loved me when I needed help
When my world was falling down
You held the sky somehow
You saw gold beneath the dust
When I forgot who I was
Now every dream I chase is true
'Cause you saw me
Before I saw me too
[Bridge]
Maybe heaven knew
What I would need
Long before we met
Maybe every storm
I walked through
Was leading to this
And if I spend forever
Trying to thank you
It would never be enough
Because you gave me back
The one thing I had lost
Myself
[Final Chorus]
You saw me before I saw myself
Loved me when I needed help
When my world was falling down
You held the sky somehow
You saw gold beneath the dust
When I forgot who I was
Now every dream I chase is true
Because of you
Because of you
You saw me
Before I saw me too
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
You saw me
Oh-oh-oh
You believed
When I couldn't believe
You saw me
