The Girl You Used To Be
You ain't nothin like the girl,
You used to be.
Used to hold you in the night,
So close to me.
Used to stare in each other's eyes,
Until we said goodbye.
I know that you're still there,
Just gone beyond repair.
We'll find you soon,
I promise you,
This won't be over,
Not so soon.
You ain't nothin like the girl,
You used to be.
Used to cuddle up closely next to me.
Used to whisper in my ear,
It would all be ok,
Even on what I felt,
Was my worst of days.
Used to stare in the sky,
Lookin at the stars,
Always close together,
Never far apart.
You ain't nothin like the girl,
You used to be.
Used to hold you in the night,
So close to me.
Used to stare in each other's eyes,
Until we said goodbye.
I know that you're still there,
Just gone beyond repair.
We'll find you soon,
I promise you,
This won't be over,
Not so soon.
Come back to me,
Is what you said one day,
When I looked at you,
And then I turned away.
You had my heart in one hand,
And that was ok,
But in the other you had something,
I never wanted to see.
Why'd you have to go?
If you had made the right decisions,
Then maybe you'd be alive,
But I guess that we just,
Can't get lucky all of the time.
Outside you may be alive,
But we all know you're dead inside.
Just one decision changes everything,
It all matters in what you say and what you think.
You ain't nothin like the girl,
You used to be.
Used to hold you in the night,
So close to me.
Used to stare in each other's eyes,
Until we said goodbye.
I know that you're still there,
Just gone beyond repair.
We'll find you soon,
I promise you,
This won't be over,
Not so soon.
I never thought,
That this would happen,
To something like you and me.
Something that's gone on for so long,
Without interrupting.
But I guess this is what happens,
When some things change.
It may not be fair,
But I guess that's the game.
The game of life,
It may sound easy to play,
But if you pick up the wrong card,
You could lose today.
