I'm independent to a fault, I know this well

But I finally found love without losing myself

I'm so much happier sharing my life

All of the good things and bad things alike

I'm not afraid of the truth, I'm not me without you.

Because of you, I'm me

All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't

Because of you, I see

Everything I can be, lonely is history

I know that I'm better when we're together

Because of you, I'm me.

Well, there's nothing wrong with the world

Oh, when you smile

The most beautiful sound I ever heard

Is you breathing at night

When you're asleep and don't know I can hear

Sounds like an angel whispering in my ear

I don't know what I would do

If it wasn't for you.

Because of you, I'm me

All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't

Because of you, I see

Everything I can be, lonely is history

I know that I'm better when we're together

Because of you, I'm me

Oh, because of you, I'm me.

I don't need you the way a child needs a home

It's more like I'm free to admit

I'm not too proud to say out loud

I am who I am 'cause you're part of me now.

Because of you, I'm me

All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't

Because of you, I see

Everything I can be, lonely is history

I know that I'm better when we're together

Because of you, I'm me

Oh, because of you, I'm me.
