Mother's Heart - Stefanie Heinzmann

I see myself in the mirror

At 8 years old wondering

Will I look like the faces

I see on the magazines

Will the world think I’m pretty

If I dress like this, walk like that

See myself in the mirror

I remember how

I stole my mother’s make up

Tryin' to look all grown up

What are you doing

She said, what are you doing

Tryin' to cover up my freckles

Wanna look just like the others

What are you doing

She said the truth is:

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

We are designed like this

You are the greatest gift

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

I see myself in the school yard

At 12 years old, I was told

I didn’t look like the others

So I chose to take control

I will do it on purpose

If I don’t fit in, I won’t fit in

See myself in the mirror

I remember how

I cut my childhood curls off

Forgot my natural color

What are you doing

I thought, what are you doing

I’m a rebel for no reason

Still searching for the real me

What are you doing

You know the truth is:

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

We are designed like this

You are the greatest gift

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

If I have a daughter

I’ll sit her down and say

Don’t ever let them change you

Don’t ever fade away

If I have a daughter

I’ll sit her down and say

Don’t break your mothers heart

Cuz she made you this way

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

We are designed like this

You are the greatest gift

You’re perfect

You’re worth it

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart

Don’t go breaking

Don’t go breaking

Don’t go breaking

Don’t go breaking your mothers heart 2x
