“You Showed Me Me”

Verse 1

I was the mask, the practiced smile,

A quiet storm dressed in style.

I played the part the world could see,

But no one ever really looked at me.

Verse 2

You didn’t flinch when I was flawed,

Didn’t run when you saw my scars.

You just stood there, heart open wide,

Like you’d already made room inside.

Pre-Chorus

And I still don’t know how you knew,

But in your eyes… I saw something true.

Chorus

You showed me me—

The man behind the fear and pride.

The little boy I tried to hide.

You saw the cracks and didn’t leave,

You touched the truth and made me believe.

No mirror ever told the story,

No voice ever gave me glory—

But you… you showed me me.

Verse 3

I spent my life chasing someone else,

Trying to be enough for everyone but myself.

But your love, it broke the lie,

And gave my soul a place to cry.

Pre-Chorus

You held my silence in your hands,

And taught me how to be a man.

Chorus

You showed me me—

The one I lost, the one I feared.

You wiped away a thousand years.

You loved me past the words I said,

You healed the wars inside my head.

You didn’t try to fix or change,

You just stayed and gave me your name.

And you… you showed me me.

Bridge

And now I walk with softer steps,

Knowing I am more, not less.

Not what I wear or what I do—

But the man who found his truth… in you.

Final Chorus (Lifted & Layered)

You showed me me—

The soul I buried deep inside.

The one who now can stand with pride.

No mirror ever told the story,

No voice ever gave me glory—

But love… your love set me free.

You didn’t just see Edward…

You showed me me.
