[Intro]
(Soft piano melody)
Whispers in the hallway, echoes of the past,
You shaped my little world, but those shadows didn’t last.
[Verse 1]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
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.
[Outro]
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.
