the me i was (stripped)

[Verse 1] 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" 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 [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've built up all these walls So nobody else gets in I know it's not your fault This isn't how I've always been [Chorus] I wish you could meet her Before all the damage that was done Wish you could've seen her The me I was The me I was [Post-Chorus] Ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah [Verse 2] Stand in my shoes, what would you do? If you've been through what I'vе been through Heart black and blue It was barely bеating 'til I met you (Ah) [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I've built up all these walls So nobody else gets in I know it's not your fault This isn't how I've always been [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Ah-ah, ah-ah (I wish you could meet her) Ah-ah, ah The me I was
