Carrie explains the concept of this song in a video, but here’s the relevant excerpt:
“The Girl You Think I Am” is actually one of the first songs that we wrote for the Storyteller album. I had been thinking about dads and—um, my dad specifically—how as an adult I kinda realized that he sees me so...
[Verse 1]
Front row center in that little white church
I was singing at a baby laying in a manger
Eight years old wearing angel wings
Yeah, and to this day, that's what you see
[Verse 2]
I've been daddy's little girl since my first cry
And it was hard turning eighteen, saying goodbye
You told me I was gonna take the world by storm
And mama said you cried all the way home
[Chorus 1]
You think I'm strong, you think I'm fearless
Even when I'm, I'm in my weakest
You always see the best in me when I can't
I wanna be the girl you think I am
[Verse 3]
I got my flaws and I've got regrets
And I know there's more on the road ahead
When I wonder if I'll ever measure up
Oh, I thank God for a father's love
[Chorus 2]
'Cause you think I'm brave, and you think I'm beautiful
You think that I can do the impossible
You always see the best in me when I can't
I wanna be the girl you think I am
[Bridge]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
The girl you think I am
Yeah, ooh
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 4]
All I want, more than anything
Is to make you proud of me
[Chorus 3]
'Cause you think I'm strong, and you think I'm fearless
Even when I'm, I'm at my weakest
You believe in me
Yeah, you're my biggest fan
So I wanna be the girl you think I am
I wanna be the girl you think I am
