Lyrics Almost - Merethe Soltvedt

You told me I'm ugly I believed you
You told me I'm worthless too
You told me that no one else would want me
That I was lucky to have you
And I took it all in
I took it all in
Something inside me
Always urged me to leave
You changed my mind so effortlessly
Wearing me down
A little everyday
Convincing that I had no choise but to stay
'Cause I took it all in
I took it all in
The very essence of what was me
Was lost in a battle
Left on the field
I almost let you kill
Who I was meant to be
Almost but I
I am still me
It took me a long time to get away
It took even longer to get rid of the hate
I'm learn to never under estimate
The power of forgiveness
I forgive myself
For taking it in
I'll never let you win
The very essence of what was me
Was lost in a battle
Left on the field
I almost let you kill what I was meant to be
Oh no
I thought I was destroyed
But that wasn't the case
One by one I pulled every piece back in place
Found a way to honor who I have become
And I never ______ myself for anyone
'Cause the very essence of what was me
Was lost in a battle
Left on the field
I almost let you kill what I was meant to be
Almost
Almost
But I am still me
