[Verse 1]
I didn't have a clue what I was getting into
It all made sense when I was in high school
It's funny how I changed for somebody to approve
Only now in the mirror, I see what I stood to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I was younger
I never thought that
I would meet this side of me
But now that I'm older
I know all the failures
Are just the parts that made him me
[Chorus]
If that boy were to meet me
I don't know if he'd like me
He'd probably say I'm a bad dream
While I'm here thinking the same thing
But soon he'll find
Over two years time
That life's an uphill fight
If that boy were to meet me
I know he wouldn't like me
[Verse 2]
I've never left this city, it don't ever feel the same
One second feels like a heaven, the next I'm dying to escape
It should be easier to block out the noise
But how do you stop what you haven't felt before?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when I was younger
I never thought that
I would meet this side of me
But now that I'm older
I know all the failures
Are just the parts that made him me
[Chorus]
If that boy were to meet me
I don't know if he'd like me
He'd probably say I'm a bad dream
While I'm here thinking the same thing
But he'll soon find
Over two years time
That life's an uphill fight
If that boy were to meet me
I know he wouldn't like me
[Outro]
'Cause when I was younger
I never thought that
I would meet this side of me
But now that I'm older
I know all the failures
Are just the parts that made him me
