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 won't be able to stop you from hurting

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

And if girls
Seem fragile to you
Know that you have within you
A strength 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 bit of trouble loving myself
And I learn every day to become gentle
I think I haven't figured it all out, I'm waiting for it to grow

I will confide in you my biggest secret
I've always had a bit of trouble 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 mirrors
That sometimes you will cry in the dark
I've lived it a thousand times before you
It's still inside of me

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

And if girls
Seem fragile to you
Know that you have within you
A strength 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 bit of trouble loving myself
I learn every day to become gentle
I think I haven't figured it all out, I'm waiting for it to grow

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