# YOU SAW SOMEONE I COULDN'T - Tolu Sarah Johnson

Verse 1 I spent so many years Protecting who I thought I was. Holding tightly to a life I'd carefully built myself. I called it strength. I called it wisdom. Then You smiled... And quietly asked, *"Who are you protecting?"* I searched my heart. But I couldn't answer. --- Pre-Chorus The question stayed with me. Long after the silence. Long after the moment. --- Chorus *You saw someone I couldn't.* *You loved someone I hadn't met.* Behind my fear... Behind my pride... You were already loving The real me. --- Verse 2 Every argument I carried. Every wound I wouldn't release. Every mask I learned to wear. Every fear of being known. One by one... They began to fall away. Not because You pulled them down. Because I no longer needed them. --- Pre-Chorus You never asked me To become someone else. Only... Someone true. --- Chorus *You saw someone I couldn't.* *You loved someone I hadn't met.* Behind my fear... Behind my pride... You had been waiting For the real me. --- Bridge Then I finally asked, "If I stop protecting This version of myself... Who will I become?" You smiled. "The person I've always loved." --- Final Chorus *You saw someone I couldn't.* *You loved someone I hadn't met.* You never loved The mask. You loved The heart beneath it. And finally... I met The person You'd always seen. --- Outro I didn't lose myself. I found myself. The one You had known All along. --- Welcome to our channel.
