to the girl i used to know

I gave a little too much Maybe I should've given up on you But I couldn't let go You reminded me too much of the girl I used to know Who couldn't recognize her reflection Who would shutter at the thought of confession She was you at her lowest She could've had so much more but she didn't know it But if you knew what she knows now No, if you knew what she knows now You'd get up and get out and be free And you'd never look back at what you thought was safety All I wanted was for you to know That what seems so far is so close Because what I would've given No, what I would've given to have known it was safe to come home This was more than a crush This was a chance to fix what I messed up To skip all the years of self-hate To prove that I wasn't too late But that was wrong of me Your life isn't a chance to rewrite my story So to the girl I used to know The time you took was never too slow Because if you knew what I know now No, if you knew what I know now You'd get up and get out and come with me And you'd never look back at what you thought was safety All I wanted was for you to know That what seems so far is so close Because what I would've given No, what I would've given to have known it was safe to come home It was safe to come home It was safe to come home It was safe to come home If I knew what I know now No, if I knew what I know now I'd know it's okay to let go And it's always safe to come home
