cpgee – my true love (mtl)

Verse 1

From the day I learned my name

To the nights I carried weight

I kept searching for a hand

That could pull me from the pain

I chased words I needed said

In the eyes of someone else

But I was standing right here

Ignoring myself

 

Pre-Chorus

I gave pieces of my heart away

Hoping they would stay

Every time I lost my way

I heard a voice inside me say

 

Chorus

I am my true love

I’ve been here from the start

Through every high and low

Every break in my heart

I am my true love

I don’t need to prove enough

When I choose me first

That’s when life shows love

I am my true love

 

Verse 2

I tried to earn my place

Tried to be what they needed

Crossed my own boundaries

Just to feel completed

I waited on permission

To dream and to rise

But I was holding the key

The whole time

 

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need another voice

To tell me who to be

Every choice that honors me

Sets me free

 

Chorus

I am my true love

I’ve been here from the start

Through every high and low

Every break in my heart

I am my true love

I don’t need to prove enough

When I choose me first

That’s when life shows love

I am my true love

 

Rap Bridge

Yeah

I was chasing every mirror just to see my worth

Let opinions shape my value let them tell me first

Everytime I’m wrong, I paid the highest price

Till I learned self respect that’s how you change your life

I drew lines where I bled called it self control

If it costs me my peace I don’t play that role

I don’t beg for a seat I just build my own

When you honor who you are you’re never alone

No approval needed I been good inside

I don’t wait to be chosen I decide

When I stand on my truth watch the world align

I am my true love every step is mine

 

Breakdown

I was born with all I need

I don’t need validation

Love starts when I believe

I am the foundation

 

Final Chorus

I am my true love

I’ve been here from the start

Through every high and low

Every scar on my heart

I am my true love

I finally know enough

When I treat me right

The world shows up with love

I am my true love

 

Outro

From the day I’m born

To the day I’m gone

I walk this life with one

I am my true love
