ALTERNATIVE

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

She's having dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talking '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

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

Her father, his bags at the door

She didn't know it at fourteen

If you don't love, then 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 walking down the aisle

She wasn't hated at eighteen

By the ones she called family

I like to think about her sometimes

I wonder what she's doing tonight (tonight)

Yeah, yeah

She's having dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talking '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

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

I like to think about her sometimes

I wonder what she's doing tonight

Yeah, yeah

She's having dinner with her family on Friday night

They're talking '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

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
