They say certain things just come with age
I never realized how much I changed
'Till I looked back on the texts we sent
Thinking back to the time I spent
Hating myself and loving him
Didn't know where he ended was where I'd begin
But I never wanna go back to then

Life can switch paths just like that
And if I could go back just a year and a half
I'd see a reflection I've never seen since then
Something I wish I'd never been
When all I wanted was a friend and some self respect
I'm so glad that came to an end because I neglected myself and pushed it all away
What a difference a year and a day can make

My independent heart was just a lie I told
And I see that now that I'm older
Winter was always colder in my heart
My soul intertwined and then fell apart
He was all I had and he threw me away
'Cuz he knew that I'd stay

Life can switch paths just like that
And if I could go back just a year and a half
I'd see a reflection I've never seen since then
Something I wish I'd never been
When all I wanted was a friend and some self respect
I'm so glad that came to an end because I neglected myself and pushed it all away
What a difference a year and a day can make

I've known such empty and lonliness
I was never at my best
But I can assure you
I'm doing fine now
