You know, I'm not ready to see you grow up I'm afraid of what you're going to become Because I know what it's like to have pain I couldn't stop you from having pain 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 the girls seem fragile to you Know that you have within you A force that unfolds Like all girls It won't be easy But I believe in you I'm going to tell you my biggest secret I've always had a hard time loving myself And I'm learning every day to become sweet I don't think I've gone around, I'm waiting for it to grow I'm going to tell you my biggest secret I've always had a hard time loving myself Now what I hope for with all my heart Is that you won't make the same mistake I know it's not easy to look in the mirror Sometimes you're going to 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 have to know that I understand you That growing up sometimes takes time And if the girls seem fragile to you Know that you have within you A force that unfolds Like all girls It won't be easy But I believe in you I'm going to tell you my biggest secret I've always had a hard time loving myself And I'm learning every day to become sweet I don't think I've gone around, I'm waiting for it to grow I'm going to tell you my biggest secret I've always had a hard time loving myself Now what I hope for with all my heart Is that you won't make the same mistake I'm going to tell you my biggest secret J'ai toujours eu un peu de mal à m'aimer
