This is about a woman who looks at herself and wonders, in a disappointed way, how she has become who she is today because she doesn't recognize the girl she used to be in herself anymore. She feels like external forces and personal choices led her to where she is, without her realizing what was happening. And now that she has awakened to her circumstances, she wishes she could tell the girl she used to be to be more aware of choices, so that her life can end up differently, while retaining some of her essential good and innocent self. Many people make this realization. But not at such a young age as Ms. Bareilles (if she wrote this).
@noah_sark Well said.... exactly how I feel about what the words to this song mean to me. Thank you for this, it truly resonates with my own meaning to these words!

@noah_sark Thank you for that interpretation. It all makes sense now! I thought it was a story about a lesbian couple
