The People We Used to Know

[Thank you Rheanys ❤️✨ 🦋 👉https://suno.com/@rheanys1626] [ The girl I used to be friends with 🎶 https://suno.com/song/0fdc3a14-fd84-4b3c-88fd-aa8dc7ec799b] [Edited and remixed in style vibe of Sara Bareilles and Jason Mraz.] [Intro] The girl I used to be friends with still lives somewhere in my mind. Not as somebody I hate, just someone I lost to time. And maybe that's the hardest part— nothing broke with one loud sound. Some people simply stop reaching, and one day they're not around. [Verse 1] I sat in class beside the window, watching rain run down the glass. Then you walked in with somebody, laughing like no time had passed. I waited for a little "hello." You never looked my way. And something small inside my chest went quiet that day. Yes, I felt replaced. Yes, I took the blame. Every afternoon we shared was still saved inside my brain. I wondered what I'd done so wrong, what I had failed to see. How somebody who once knew me could look straight through me. [Pre-Chorus] But maybe every goodbye isn't proof that love was fake. Sometimes people grow apart without somebody being to blame. [Chorus] The girl I used to be friends with, I still remember you. All the laughs, all the little things, all the dreams we thought were true. So many friendships get broken. So many hearts close down. But maybe being hurt doesn't mean we stop reaching out. Do I deserve this? No. Was loving you worth it? Yes. Because even a friendship that ends can leave something beautiful behind. [Verse 2] We used to talk about everything. Then silence took its place. Messages became memories, and distance learned your face. You didn't know I missed you. Maybe I never knew your pain. Maybe while I thought you left me, you were trying to survive your own rain. There are things we'll never understand about the hearts we pass each day. Someone laughing in a crowded room might be barely holding pain away. So maybe I don't need an answer. Maybe peace can start right here. I can miss what we once had without carrying anger through the years. [Pre-Chorus] Because everybody loses someone. Everybody gets left behind. And the world gets a little colder every time we decide not to be kind. [Chorus] The girl I used to be friends with, I still remember you. All the laughs, all the little things, all the dreams we thought were true. So many friendships get broken. So many hearts close down. But maybe being hurt doesn't mean we stop reaching out. Do I deserve this? No. Was loving you worth it? Yes. Because even a friendship that ends can leave something beautiful behind. [Bridge: piano only] And now when I see someone new, I still feel that old fear rise. The voice that says, "Don't trust them. You've seen how every friendship dies." But I don't want one goodbye to decide who I become. I don't want somebody else's leaving to make me afraid of everyone. So I'll say hello. I'll make the call. I'll sit beside the person sitting alone against the wall. I'll listen longer. Judge less. Leave room for what I don't know. Because maybe peace begins with how we treat the people standing close. [Build] Different countries. Different languages. Different prayers. Different names. Still the lonely heart inside us hurts the same. And kindness doesn't need translation. Neither does a hand held out. Maybe that's how we change the world— one person turning toward another instead of turning out. [Final Chorus] To the girl I used to be friends with, I hope your life turned kind. I hope somebody sees your heart the way I wanted you to see mine. And to every friendship broken, every person feeling small— Please don't let one goodbye convince you you're not worth knowing at all. You deserve love. You deserve friends. You deserve another start. And every time we choose compassion, we repair a little part of this tired world we share together. So wherever life may go— Be gentle with the people that you meet. They may become the people that you used to know. [Outro] Maybe not everyone is meant to stay. But everyone we meet can teach us a kinder way. [Softly] So say hello. [End]
