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
And I want to see you fall in love
And even if I want to protect you
Sometimes, I'll 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'm going to share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
I'm learning every day to become gentle
I think I haven't fully figured it out, I'm waiting for it to grow
I'm going to share my biggest secret with you
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
Sometimes you'll cry in the dark
I've lived 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
Growing up, sometimes, it 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'm going to share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
I'm learning every day to become gentle
I think I haven't fully figured it out, I'm waiting for it to grow
I'm going to share my biggest secret with you
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'm going to share my biggest secret with you
I've always had a bit of trouble loving myself
