- Meaning
[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" (Mm-mm)
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 (Ooh)
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)
The me I was (The me I was)
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm such a mess)
(Me I was)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
(Wish you could meet her)
Ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2]
Stand in my shoes, what would you do?
If you've been through what I've been through
Heart black and blue
It was barely beating 'til I met you (Ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've built up all these walls (Ooh)
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)
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm such a mess)
(Me I was)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
(Wish you could meet her)
Ah-ah, ah
[Outro]
The me I was
[Verse 1: Kenzie]
In this verse, Kenzie describes the influence of past criticism and control from a previous relationship. These experiences have left her feeling guarded and conflicted when new romantic possibilities arise. The verse conveys her struggle to reconcile the person she used to be with the person she has become due to past emotional wounds.
[Pre-Chorus: Kenzie]
This pre-chorus reveals Kenzie's internal conflict between her current self, shaped by emotional walls and defenses, and her past self. She acknowledges that these defenses are a result of her past experiences, which have led her to become more closed off and less trusting.
[Chorus: Kenzie]
The chorus expresses Kenzie's longing for her partner to have met her before the damage from her past affected her. She wishes for her partner to understand the person she was before she became guarded and emotionally wounded. This part of the song highlights her regret over the transformation she has undergone and her desire to reconnect with a more authentic and vulnerable version of herself.

This verse underscores her desire for empathy and understanding from her partner regarding her emotional struggles.
[Pre-Chorus: Kenzie]
The second pre-chorus reiterates Kenzie's struggle with her emotional barriers, highlighting that these walls are not a permanent part of her but rather a response to her past experiences. It reinforces her acknowledgment that her current guarded state is not her true self.
[Chorus: Kenzie]
The chorus is repeated, further emphasizing Kenzie's regret over the changes she has undergone and her wish for her partner to have known the more open and loving version of herself that existed before her emotional wounds. It encapsulates her longing for reconnection with her past self.
