Not The Girl

Lyrics

[Hook] You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be you Leaving me for good [Verse 1] I've been sitting here for two straight hours Watching you asleep Wishing I could talk to you There is no denying we both have Emotions running deep Oh, if I could talk to you 'Cause I'm scared 'Cause when I try to take your hand You're not there Even though I see the signs, you think I'm just scared Gimme one reason why I should hide my fears When it's killing me inside [Hook] You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be you Leaving me, for good [Verse 2] We have been together for so long You seem a part of me Just how did this go all wrong? And you say you gave to me your best Just to make it work But just how did this all go wrong? 'Cause I try See my eyes are empty from all the tears I cried Since this perfect love is hardly satisfied Gimme one reason why I should hide my tears When it's killing me inside [Hook] You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be you Leaving me for good [Bridge] And if I ever come across a girl like you again I don't know if I would let my emotions show I'll just look the other way I don't care what you might say 'Cause I'm not so sure how much of this My poor heart can take [Hook] You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be you Leaving me You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be you Leaving me You're not the girl I used to know You're a shadow of yourself I think I lost you long ago Like a book that's left the shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall And I know someday that will be Leaving me, for good
