lyrics

The Girl I Knew
What happened to you?
The Girl I Knew
The Girl I Knew

Lay your head down on my chest,
child you got yourself in over your head

it's been a long time full of wrong nights
but it felt like the right time
you were just kids
its no big deal
we all make mistakes
but you can't leave me
please don't leave me

Take as much time as you'd like
listen to your heart and you will know whats right
this is your time to shine
don't let nobody try to tell you otherwise
can't you see your reflection,
did you lose your direction,
the girl that I knew is gone
but I would do anything to have her back
the girl that I knew is gone
but I would do anything to have her back

The Girl I Knew
What happened to you?
The Girl I Knew
The Girl I Knew

I hope you made it up on top of that mountain
I hope you went and your mama proud

I know its been it's been a long time full of wrong nights
but it felt like the right time
you were just kids
its no big deal
we all make mistakes
why'd you leave me
why'd you leave me

Take as much time as you'd like
listen to your heart and you will know whats right
this is your time to shine
don't let nobody try to tell you otherwise
can't you see your reflection,
did you lose your direction,
the girl that I knew is gone
but I would do anything to have her back

The Girl I Knew
The Girl I Knew
What happened to you?
I would do anything to have you back
Girl I knew

Lay your head down on my chest,
(girl I knew)
child you got yourself in over your head
(what happened to you?)
Girl I knew
I would do anything to have you back

I know its been it's been a long time full of wrong nights
but it felt like the right time
you were just kids
its no big deal
we all make mistakes
why'd you leave me

What happened to you?
Girl I knew
