I'm the girl you grew up with, I lived right next door
The girl you spent your day with. Just one of the boys
that's how you would see me, you never expected
to want to be with me.
I'm the girl that helped you out, with your girlfriends,
your troubles and all your self doubt. I held your hand
and gave you strength, I saw your tears and fears,
and made you feel safe.
I'm the girl you didn't have to meet, I wrote your papers for school
so you could sleep. I anticipated your wants and needs.
You didn't know how much you needed me.
I'm the girl that was always fun, never troubled anyone
at the club or at the bar, at your house or in the car.
We were friends through thick and thin,
You never expected it might end.
I'm the girl you didn't see, but every night you talked
to me, These days, now that I'm not there
You don't understand why life's unfair.
I'm the girl you dream about, who knows your world
inside and out, anything you wanted everything you need
I'm that girl, that was me.
I'm the girl you can't forget, the one thing in life
you will always regret, who I am and what I was
You realize know that was LOVE.
You look back know and you wish
that you had taken that big risk,
Not only do you miss my smiling face,
But you realize, when I was there
Your life was a better place
