Initially, when I first heard this song I attached it to something romantic, but after listening for some time, I think this song could be for anyone looking to be given a second chance. I hear it now as an apology from that part of us that can be stubborn and harmful, but reaching out to be seen as something more than our mistakes. We can do better. We know it, and we want others to know it too.
“Version of Me” Lyrics:
next time I’ll be kinder with you
there’s just this habit that I have
I throw my words around like fire
they catch on your good heart and your peace of mind
next time I’ll be kinder
if I learn to take it lighter when you
tell me there’s something that I lack
would that make you change your mind?
would that make it better and buy me some time?
’cause I’m damned if I do
and I’m damned if I don’t
every time I swear I will
you say that I won’t
but there’s a better version of me
stay for the person I’ll be
if there’s a next time I’ll fight harder for you
won’t take for granted what we had
I wake with you in mind but I’m tired
of all these different phases
are all these faults of mine?
’cause I’m damned if I’m true
and I’m damned if I’m right
everytime you say I’ll lose
I swear that I’m trying
if there’s a better version of me
would you stay for the person I’ll be?
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
