Dare - Not the girl lyrics

rate me

You're not the girl I used to know<br />

you're a shadow of yourself<br />

I think i lost you long ago<br />

Like a book thats left the shelf<br />

i hear the footsteps down the hall<br />

and i know someday that will be you<br />

leaving me, for good<br />

<br />

<br />

I've been sitting here for two straights hours<br />

watching you asleep<br />

wishing i could talk to you<br />

there is no denying we both have<br />

emotions running deep<br />

owe if i could talk to you<br />

cos im scared<br />

cos when i try to take your hand<br />

you're not there<br />

even though i see the signs you<br />

think im just scared<br />

gimme one reason why i should hide my fears<br />

when its killing me inside<br />

<br />

you're not the girl i used to know<br />

you're a shadow of yourself<br />

I think i lost you long ago<br />

Like a book thats left the shelf<br />

i hear the footsteps down the hall<br />

and i know someday that will be you<br />

leaving me, for good<br />

<br />

<br />

We have been together for so long<br />

you seem a part of me<br />

just how did this go all wrong<br />

and you say you gave to me your best<br />

just to make this work<br />

but just how did this all go wrong<br />

cos i try<br />

see my eyes are empty from all the tears i cried<br />

since this perfect love is hardly satisfy<br />

gimme one reason why i should hide my tears<br />

when its killing me inside<br />

<br />

<br />

Youre not the girl I used to know<br />

youre a shadow of yourself<br />

I think i lost you long ago<br />

Like a book thats left the shelf<br />

i hear the footsteps down the hall<br />

and i know someday that will be<br />

leaving me, for good<br />

<br />

And if I ever come across a girl like you again<br />

i dont know if i would let my emotions show<br />

i'l just look the other way<br />

i dont care what you might say<br />

cos im not so sure how much of this <br />

my poor heart can take<br />

<br />

<br />

You're not the girl I used to know<br />

you're a shadow of yourself<br />

I think i lost you long ago<br />

Like a book thats left the shelf<br />

i hear the footsteps down the hall<br />

and i know someday that will be you<br />

leaving me, for good<br />
