Featuring: Geolabious [Chorus:] 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 a 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 Cos I'm scared, cos when I try to take your hand you are not there And 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
[Chorus:] 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 a 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 all go wrong? And you say you gave me your best just to make it work Just how did this all go wrong? Cos I tried, 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
[Chorus:] 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 a 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 dn't know if I will let my emotion show I'll just look the other way; I don't care what you might say Cos I'm not so sure how much of this my poor heart can take
[Chorus:] 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 a shelf I hear the footsteps down the hall and I know someday that will be you Leaving me for good
