Ciara - I Found Myself Lyrics

So long
Farewell
Hello, to the new me
The better me
That's right
My life

21, and I've realized
Everything you want's not meant to be
21 then you qualify
To stand up to responsibilities
So I tried to prioritize
By deciding what I know is best for me
And then there's always

Love that tries to trip you up
You try to catch yourself before you hit the ground
Ooh, but nothing's promised
Friends are there to cheer you up
To give you strength and build you up when you are down
Ooh, so I set sail emotion

I say
So long, farewell
My life's moving forward
My ship has sailed
And I'm so glad it's over
My heart is well
After all that I've been through
I found myself

22, I hope that I'm
With someone who truly cares for me
If I'm not, I'll be alright
I'll accept the time I know God has for me
One day I'll be the perfect wife
That's my destiny, yeah
And I won't be afraid to try
Though there's always

Love that tries to trip you up
But then someone will sweep you off the ground
Ooh, but nothing's promised
I'm not gonna give it up
just because the last one let me down
Ooh, so I set sail in motion

I say
So long, farewell
My ship has sailed
And I'm so glad it's over
My heart is well
After all that I've been through
I found myself

I'm looking out for me
Taking care of my needs
Life isn't guaranteed
It's time to start living
It won't always be the same
Can't be afraid of change
You wanna have your way
Demand 'til your satisfied
You lower your self esteem
You gotta live your dream
It's all 'bout confidence
To let them know that you can stand up
You never try
Learn to express you mind
Sometimes you gotta fight
It's your life, so don't you give up

So long, farewell
My life's moving forward
My ship has sailed
And I'm so glad it's over
My heart is well
After all that I've been through
I found myself
After all that I've been through
I found myself
After all that I've been through
I found myself
