Story Behind The Song

A good friend of mine lost her husband and I wrote this for her to remind her how he made her a better and stronger woman.

Song Description

How the love of someone now gone made you who you are today.

Lyrics

I Wouldn't Be Me
- Jillian Boldway

Though you're gone, a part of you lingers on
Inside of me, in all that I've become to be
You are the courage in the emptiness
You are the voice inside that's by my side when I do my best

And if I never loved you, I'd be less than I am today
And if we never kissed, my lips wouldn't be as sweet today
And if I never held you, my arms wouldn't be as strong as they can be
No, I wouldn't be me

My heart aches, with every breath I take,
But still I smile, loving you was so worth while
You are the peace that cures my restless feet
You are the music in my heart that plays with every beat

And if I never loved you, I'd be less than I am today
And if we never kissed, my lips wouldn't be as sweet today
And if I never held you, my arms wouldn't be as strong as they can be
No, I wouldn't be me

I bless the pain of your memory
The lessons gained are now clear to me
And so I embrace the sorrow
For the chance of a better tomorrow

'Cause if I never loved you, I'd be less than I am today
And if we never kissed, my lips wouldn't be as sweet today
And if I never held you, my arms wouldn't be as strong as they can be
No, I wouldn't be me, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be me
