I'm Sorry, Tokyo
I could've learned Japanese
My grandma gave me books to read
But I didn't think that'd be cool back at 13
Embarrassed of the way she talked
I thought that I was better off
Tryna sound like all the girls on my TV
Paid the price to fit right in
Closed my mind to chase the trends
Made the joke before someone else did
Wish that I could go back now and
Be okay outside the crowd, yeah
Love myself and mean it
Brave enough to lean in
Wish I hadn't kept my distance
Grew up with some pieces missing
Is it too late to call you home?
I'm sorry, Tokyo
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Tokyo, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
I thought guys wouldn't like me back
When I saw an ex in photographs
And she looked like everything I know I can't be
And I let myself get so blinded by comparisons
I watered down my differences
Made the joke before someone else did
Wish that I could go back now and
Be okay outside the crowd, yeah
Love myself and mean it
Brave enough to lean in
Wish I hadn't kept my distance
Grew up with some pieces missing
Is it too late to call you home?
I wasn't ready then
I hope you're listening
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
No, I'm not innocent
I should've let you in
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Mm-mm-mm
Wish that I could go back now, and
Be okay outside the crowd, yeah
Love myself and mean it
Brave enough to lean in
Wish I hadn't kept my distance
Grew up with some pieces missing
Is it too late to call you home?
I'm sorry, Tokyo
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Tokyo, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
My grandma gave me books to read
But I didn't think that'd be cool back at 13
Embarrassed of the way she talked
I thought that I was better off
Tryna sound like all the girls on my TV
Paid the price to fit right in
Closed my mind to chase the trends
Made the joke before someone else did
Wish that I could go back now and
Be okay outside the crowd, yeah
Love myself and mean it
Brave enough to lean in
Wish I hadn't kept my distance
Grew up with some pieces missing
Is it too late to call you home?
I'm sorry, Tokyo
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Tokyo, ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
I thought guys wouldn't like me back

I'm sorry, Tokyo
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Tokyo, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
