I'm such a mess 'cause here in my head
Keep hearing all the things he said
"Don't wear that dress," "do this instead"
"She's just a friend" (mm-mm)
Now here you are, feeling the spark
Thinking, "oh, fuck I hate this part"
I put in my guard, you're in the dark
I know it's hard

'Cause I've built up all these walls (ooh)
So nobody else gets in
I know it's not your fault
This isn't how I've always been

I wish you could meet her (ah-ah)
Before all the damage that was done
Wish you could've seen her (ah-ah)
The me I was (the me I was)

(I'm such a mess)
(Me I was)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
(Wish you could meet her)
Ah-ah, ah

Stand in my shoes, what would you do?
If you've been through what I've been through
Heart black and blue
It was barely beating 'til I met you (ooh-ooh)

'Cause I've built up all these walls (ooh)
So nobody else gets in
I know it's not your fault
This isn't how I've always been

I wish you could meet her (ah-ah)
Before all the damage that was done
Wish you could've seen her (ah-ah)
She'd do anything for anyone
She was a dreamer, a little bit sweeter
Wasn't afraid to fall in love
Wish I could still be her (ah-ah)
The me I was (the me I was)

(I'm such a mess)
(Me I was)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
(Wish you could meet her)
Ah-ah, ah

The me I was
