I fell in love with myself
Touching the shallow end
Of the river bank close to my heart

Trying not to feel, feeling serene and loved
Every day I walk and I take everything
Get everything off my chest for you dear

Look in the mirror and watch that smile rise
Haven’t been there to take my own hand
Waiting for someone else to always be there

Watch me as I as step out of myself
I’m finally learning after time and time after time
I’m walking away, I’m stepping aside
I’m getting away, no matter what you say

I fell in love with myself
Touching the shallow end
Of the river bank close to my heart

We’ll always love me but were drifting away
Loving is settling in, it’s becoming a part of me
Trying to frame the goodness within

Outwearing the fears of my spirit
I’m no longer afraid; I’m no longer in fear
Crying is not showing the sadness of my heart

I’m tearing out of the joy in my soul
No longer belong to anyone else but myself
Flying away from myself, I’ve settled it down

I fell in love with myself
Touching the shallow end
Of the river bank close to my heart
