(set to "put your records on" by corinne baeley rae)

that 11 years
was for learning
it wasn't a waste

it was a path i took
to finally know
who i am
and who i can be

i thought i never knew
what real love felt like
but it was because i forgot
what real love felt like

i learned that
when i thought i was chasing love
that i was actually running away from it
that it was always in my life
i just didn't have the eyes to see it

the longer i live
the more reason i have
to love myself
as i would my best friends

i think i'm one of my best friends now
and even in the midst of this darkness
that i live in
i can find moments
to be happy
about myself

i've gotta keep myself going
and if not for myself most days
at least it's for them always
