Lyrics
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.
