The Girl You Used To Know

(Soft piano melody)

Whispers in the hallway, echoes of the past,

You shaped my little world, but those shadows didn’t last.

Once a girl with dreams so bright,

Colors painted in the light.

You told me how to smile, how to play,

But deep inside, they faded away.

I wore my heart like a fragile rose,

But you pulled the petals, I wore your clothes.

Time rolled on, I learned to hide,

The girl you knew, trapped inside.

Now I stand here, voice so small,

A stranger"s mirror, I don"t recall.

Oh, the girl you used to know,

Drowning in a sea of words unsaid,

Wishing you could see the storms I feel,

But I"m a ghost in my own head.

Oh, the girl you used to know,

Faded in the backdrop of the show,

Craving for a voice to break the silence,

But lost in the echoes, I can’t let it show.

Guidance came with hidden strings,

They pulled the hope from fragile wings.

Teenage walls built up so high,

Captured in a whirlwind, left to sigh.

You taught me laughter, but it felt so wrong,

Inside the storm where I don’t belong.

Time rolled on, I learned to hide,

The girl you knew, trapped inside.

Now I stand here, voice so small,

A stranger"s mirror, I don"t recall.

Oh, the girl you used to know,

Drowning in a sea of words unsaid,

Wishing you could see the storms I feel,

But I"m a ghost in my own head.

Oh, the girl you used to know,

Faded in the backdrop of the show,

Craving for a voice to break the silence,

But lost in the echoes, I can’t let it show.

One day I’ll rise, shed those chains,

Let my heart speak, embrace the rains.

A melody waiting to be found,

The girl in the shadows, I’ll bring her around.

Oh, the girl you used to know,

In every tear, in every breath,

I’ll write my story, finally free,

The girl you knew will learn to be me.
