[Verse 1]
You were just a kid
Watching every wrong move I made
Thought I’d have the answers
But I lost my way
Now look at you
Keys in your hand
Holding down that place
Little boy on your hip
Fire in your face
[Chorus]
You’ve grown into such a beautiful woman
So independent
So strong
Raising your son like an awesome mom
You didn’t learn that from me
You didn’t learn that from me
But I’m standing here
Proud as I can be
Wish I could’ve taught you more
You didn’t learn that from me
[Verse 2]
I remember late nights
You waiting up by the door
I was chasing my ghosts
You deserved so much more
Somehow you took the pieces
Built something I never could
Turned all of that hurt
Into something good (oh)
[Chorus]
You’ve grown into such a beautiful woman
So independent
So strong
Raising your son like an awesome mom
You didn’t learn that from me
You didn’t learn that from me
But I’m standing here
Proud as I can be
Wish I could’ve shown the way
You didn’t learn that from me
[Bridge]
If courage is a lesson
Then you taught it to me
Watching you love him
The way I couldn’t be
I can’t change the past
But I can say this true
If there’s one thing I did right
It’s that he has you
[Chorus]
You’ve grown into such a beautiful woman
So independent
So strong
Raising your son like an awesome mom
You didn’t learn that from me
You didn’t learn that from me
But I’m standing here
Proud as I can be
Every dream that you set free
You didn’t learn that from me (no)
But you’re everything to me
