[Intro]
(Do you remember her?)
(The girl you used to be?)
(Because I still see her...)
[Verse 1]
I remember when you laughed
without checking who was watching.
When you spoke your mind
without wondering if you were wrong.
I remember all the little things
you thought nobody noticed.
The way your eyes would light up
before the world got heavy.
Now you apologise for feelings
you were never wrong to have.
You hide the parts that made you beautiful
and call them things you have to fix.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I can't save you...
I know that's not my place.
But I wish you could see yourself
through my eyes for just one day.
[Chorus]
Because I miss the girl
before you forgot.
Before you learned to shrink yourself
to fit inside someone else's heart.
Before you thought your fire
was something you had to hide.
Before you started believing
you were too much to love.
I don't miss a version of you
that never existed...
I miss the one who was always there.
The girl you buried...
but never lost.
[Verse 2]
I don't know what he told you.
I don't know what you believed.
But I know the girl I see now
is carrying things she shouldn't need.
You used to stand like lightning.
You used to chase the sky.
Now you question every step you take
and every reason why.
And maybe you'll never notice
the pieces that slipped away...
But I notice.
I always did.
[Pre-Chorus]
Because you were never broken.
You were never too hard.
You were just someone
who got tired of fighting alone.
[Chorus]
I miss the girl
who didn't hide her scars.
The one who didn't apologise
for the shape of her heart.
The one who believed
she could be anything.
The one who didn't need permission
to breathe.
And I hope someday you remember...
You were never the problem.
You were never too much.
You were always someone
worth choosing.
[Bridge]
Maybe I was never meant
to be the one you chose.
Maybe I'll always be the person
who loved you quietly from close.
But if I could give you anything...
I'd give you back the girl
you thought you lost.
I'd remind you...
she's still there.
She's just waiting
for you to find her.
[Chorus]
So don't let anyone convince you
that your light was a flaw.
Don't let anyone make you forget
the person you were before.
Because I still see her...
Even when you don't.
The girl who laughed.
The girl who dreamed.
The girl who deserved the world.
And if you ever wonder
if she still exists...
Look a little closer.
She's been there all along.
[Outro]
(Do you remember her?)
(The girl you used to be?)
(I never forgot.)
