I used to stand in front of that mirror
Picking myself apart
Looking for all the little reasons why
Nobody stayed with my heart
I changed the way I wore my hair
Changed the way I spoke
Laughed at things that weren't even funny
Just to keep somebody close
I gave away the best of me
'Til there was nothing left to give
And all that time I never knew
I had my own life to live
Oh the things I put myself through
Trying to be somebody's dream
But loving me was never something
I should've had to earn
I was always enough
Even when they couldn't see
I was worthy of the love
I kept begging them to give me
I was always enough
Didn't need to change a thing
I was more than all those broken words
They kept throwing back at me
Oh I was enough
I was always enough
I remember all those birthdays
When nobody called my phone
All the times I needed somebody
And had to make it on my own
I remember saying sorry
For things I didn't do
Just to keep a little peace
With people I was scared to lose
But somewhere in those quiet moments
I started hearing my own voice
And for the 1st time in a long time
I knew I had a choice
I could stop explaining myself
To people who don't want to hear
I could finally love the woman
Who's been standing right here
I was always enough
Even when they couldn't see
I was worthy of the love
I kept begging them to give me
I was always enough
Didn't need to change a thing
I was more than all those broken words
They kept throwing back at me
Oh I was enough
Let me tell you something
You don't have to be prettier
You don't have to be smaller
You don't have to be richer
You don't have to be somebody else to deserve love
And if somebody can't see the beauty in who you are
Baby that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you
It just means they weren't the ones who could appreciate you
And I wish somebody had told me that years ago
I was always enough
Even with these scars on me
Every line and every heartbreak
Made the woman standing here
I was always enough
And I finally understand
I don't need another person's love
To tell me who I am
Oh I was enough
Yes I was always enough
Look at me now
Still learning
Still growing
Still loving who I am
I ain't perfect
Never said I was
But I am worthy
I am somebody
And I was always
Always enough
