Secret

You know, I'm not ready to see you grow up
I'm afraid of what you will become
Because I know what it's like to hurt
I couldn't prevent you from hurting

You know, I want you to be happy
And I want to see you fall in love
And even though I will protect you
Sometimes I will have to see you fall

And if girls seem fragile to you
Know that you have a strength within you that unfolds
Like all girls, it won't be easy
But I believe in you

I will confide in you my biggest secret
I've always had a hard time loving myself
And I learn every day to be gentle
I think I haven't finished, I'm waiting for it to grow

I will confide in you my biggest secret
I've always had a hard time loving myself
Now what I hope with all my heart
Is that you won't make the same mistake

I know it's not easy to face the mirrors
That you will sometimes cry in the dark
I've experienced it a thousand times before you
It's still inside me

And if it's hard not to look
At others without feeling forgotten
You need to know that I understand you
That growing up sometimes takes time

And if girls seem fragile to you
Know that you have a strength within you that unfolds
Like all girls, it won't be easy
But I believe in you

I will confide in you my biggest secret
I've always had a hard time loving myself
And I learn every day to be gentle
I think I haven't finished, I'm waiting for it to grow

I will confide in you my biggest secret
I've always had a hard time loving myself
Now what I hope with all my heart
Is that you won't make the same mistake

I will confide in you my biggest secret

I've always had a hard time loving myself
