mean to me
Shoulda ditched my friends
Stayed in when you wanted to
Coulda been that guy
I tried to be good to you
But I was naive
Heart tucked under my sleeve
So, I think that we
Coulda made this last
But I had growing up to do
'Cause I didn't know me till you came around
Didn't know hurt till I hit the ground
Wasn't perfect (I wasn't perfect)
I was still learning (I was still learning)
And I didn't know heat till I felt the cold
Didn't know love till I let you go
Wish I knew then what I know now
(Didn't know how)
If I hit rewind, couple times
Maybe then you'd see
(Maybe then you'd see)
That I'm not that guy in your mind that I used to be
I'm not 19, had my heart on my sleeve
I still think that we
We could make this last, fix the past, baby
'Cause I didn't know me till you came around
Didn't know hurt till I hit the ground
Wasn't perfect (I wasn't perfect)
I was still learning (I was still learning)
And I didn't know heat till I felt the cold
Didn't know love till I let you go
Wish I knew then what I know now
(Didn't know how)
'Cause I know how to treat you right
To hold on tight, to never let you leave
Holding you close and letting you know
How much you mean to me
If I knew then what I know now
I could be headed up to your house
If I knew then what I know now
I never woulda let you down
(Let you down)
'Cause I didn't know me till you came around
Didn't know hurt till I hit the ground
Wasn't perfect (I wasn't perfect)
I was still learning (I was still learning)
And I didn't know heat till I felt the cold
Didn't know love till I let you go
Wish I knew then what I know now
(Didn't know how)
'Cause I know how to treat you right, to hold on tight
To never let you leave
Holding you close and letting you know
How much you mean to me
Stayed in when you wanted to
Coulda been that guy
I tried to be good to you
But I was naive
Heart tucked under my sleeve
So, I think that we
Coulda made this last
But I had growing up to do
'Cause I didn't know me till you came around
Didn't know hurt till I hit the ground
Wasn't perfect (I wasn't perfect)
I was still learning (I was still learning)
And I didn't know heat till I felt the cold
Didn't know love till I let you go
Wish I knew then what I know now
(Didn't know how)
If I hit rewind, couple times
Maybe then you'd see
(Maybe then you'd see)
That I'm not that guy in your mind that I used to be

We could make this last, fix the past, baby
'Cause I didn't know me till you came around
Didn't know hurt till I hit the ground
Wasn't perfect (I wasn't perfect)
I was still learning (I was still learning)
And I didn't know heat till I felt the cold
Didn't know love till I let you go
Wish I knew then what I know now

'Cause I know how to treat you right, to hold on tight
To never let you leave
Holding you close and letting you know
How much you mean to me
