The Girl You Used to Know

It’s crazy how the nights still sound like you, Old songs hit and I fall right through. Back then we were fire, we burned too fast, Now I’m just a name from your past. I still hear echoes down my hall, But they don’t hurt the same at all. You fell for the girl I used to know, She laughed too loud and dreamed too slow. Now I’ve changed, I’ve let it go — She’s gone, she’s gone. Heart’s a little colder, yeah, I know, But I’m done playin’ your ghost show. You fell for the girl I used to know, She’s gone, she’s gone. All the promises we tried to keep, Faded out like smoke and cheap perfume. You say you miss me — nah, you miss the scene, The version of me you made in your dream. I won’t break just to make you stay, I’m not that girl anyway. You fell for the girl I used to know, She laughed too loud and dreamed too slow. Now I’ve changed, I’ve let it go — She’s gone, she’s gone. Heart’s a little colder, yeah, I know, But I’m done playin’ your ghost show. You fell for the girl I used to know, She’s gone, she’s gone. I’m walkin’ out that open door, You fade like static, nothin’ more. Guess love was real — but not no more, I’m not the same, I’ve closed that war. You fell for the girl I used to know, But she’s long gone, and I’ve outgrown. Heart’s on fire but burnin’ slow, I’m free — yeah, I’m free. You fell for the girl I used to know, Now watch me bloom, just so you know. That girl you loved — She’s gone, but I’m still glowin’ on.
