Dare Art Alade Not The Girl Lyrics

Not The Girl lyrics

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 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
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/dare-art-alade-lyrics/not-the-girl-lyrics.html)
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 will never ever 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

Repeat Chorus till fine...
