"ALTERNATIVE" lyrics

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 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

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 walkin' 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 doin' tonight (Tonight)
Yeah, yeah

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

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 doin' tonight
Yeah, yeah

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

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
