The Girl I Left Behind (Acoustic) Lyrics

As a child I used to look up at the stars

And wonder where they'd take me

I liked to live with my head in the clouds

I was happy in my daydreams

As I grew I began to see the cracks

In what I thought was solid ground

And when I turned to those who should have had the answers

I left with more reasons to doubt

And I couldn't stop the changes

And I couldn't slow the time

And I tried to hold on to the beauty

As the day turned into night

Now all I see is the girl I used to be

It keeps playing on my mind

When I felt sure safe and secure

The girl I left behind

The girl I left behind

Spent so long trying to be everything to everyone

I learned my lines and played my part

Always searching for approval

To help the healing of my heart

And I couldn't make the changes

And I couldn't speed the time

And I tried to hold on to the beauty

As the day turned into night

Now all I see is the girl I used to be

It keeps playing on my mind

When I felt sure safe and secure

The girl I left behind

The girl I left behind
