You taught me my work defined my worth
And I bought into it
Took your advice down to the word
You suggested I should lose some weight
To like the way I looked in pictures
I didn't argue with ya

And now I don't know who I am without you
Even though I hated who I was around you

You took my weekends and my summers
And my golden years
I didn't ever think it strange
That I broke my body showing up for you
Trying to prove something
And you never did the same

And now I don't know who I am without you
Even though I hated who I was around you

Ooh

I changed my clothes and my makeup
I changed my friends and my dreams just
Trying to be what you wanted
'cause I thought that that's what I wanted, ah

I held my tongue and my temper
Convinced myself you knew better
And never thought about what I wanted
Just so I could be what you wanted, ah

And now I don't know who I am without you
Even though I hated who I was around you
