Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Paid the price to fit right in
Closed my mind to chase the trends
Made the joke before someone else did
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I let myself get so blinded by comparisons
I watered down my differences
Made the joke before someone else did
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I wasn’t ready then
I hope you’re listening
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Know I’m not innocent
I should’ve let you in
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
[Chorus]
