[Intro]

I think there's a version of me that's happy somewhere

In an alternate universe

I don't know why, but that just

Is so sad to think about


[Chorus]

She's havin' dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talkin' 'bout TV shows and they never really fight

I hope she never has to feel empty

I hope she never has to meet this version of me


[Verse 1]

She never had to come home to her mother on the floor of the bedroom

Her fathеr, his bags at the door

She didn't know it at fourteen

If you don't love, thеn they won't leave

She didn't have to show up to that wedding with a smile

Watch all her father's lies just go walkin' down the aisle

She wasn't hated at eighteen

By the ones she called family


[Pre-Chorus]

I like to think about her sometimes

I wonder what she's doin' tonight (Tonight)

Yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

She's havin' dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talkin' 'bout TV shows and they never really fight

I hope she never has to feel empty

I hope she never has to meet this version of me


[Verse 2]

She didn't have to become somebody that she hates

And cheat on everyone, realise she's the same

Yeah, the same as her father

Made for a one-bed apartment


[Pre-Chorus]

I like to think about her sometimes

I wonder what she's doin' tonight

Yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

She's havin' dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talkin' 'bout TV shows and they never really fight

I hope she never has to feel empty

I hope she never has to meet this version of me

Version of me


[Outro]

She ain't got scars on her wrists

Not on the edge of a cliff

No one she has to forgive

She ain't that version of me

Ain't got low self-esteem

Crippling anxiety

She's out there livin' her dream

She ain't that version of me
