Half of Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
He did life on his own, had a house but not a home
Until one day he decided he would make one
He met grief at fifteen, taught himself who he should be
Never chose to be defined by where he came from

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you met him, asked him some questions
'Bout all of the stories and memories and lessons, he'd say

[Chorus]
It's not what you've been through, it's what you do with it
There's good in the bad, it's just how you're viеwin' it
You aren't everything you'vе seen
Who you've been ain't who you'll be
And it brings me peace
Knowin' all of him is half of me

[Verse 2]
He taught me love with no conditions, everything that he was missin'
When he was a kid, don't know how he did what he did
People say that I'm just like him, but they don't even know
I'm lucky to get close, got a long way to go

[Chorus]
It's not what you've been through, it's what you do with it (Do with it)
There's good in the bad, it's just how you're viewin' it (Viewin' it)
You aren't everything you've seen
Who you've been ain't who you'll be
And it brings me peace
Knowin' all of him is half of me
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh) Oh, oh
Oh (Ooh, ooh)
And if you met him, asked him some questions (Ooh, ooh)
'Bout all of the stories and memories and lessons, he'd say (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
It's not what you've been through, it's what you do with it
There's good in the bad, it's just how you're viewin' it
You aren't everything you've seen
Who you've been ain't who you'll be
And it brings me peace
Knowin' all of him is half of me

[Outro]
Oh, oh (Ooh, ooh)
Half of me (Ooh, ooh)
Half of me
