Lyrics

Ain't it something how I look back at before

Reflecting on the past and how it appears now

My mind consumed and obsessed

Previous preoccupation with thoughts and memories

With people I met and all sorts of problems

Being fixated on people and various issues

That I don't even remember no more

Unable to recall past problems due to time or personal growth

Ain't it something how the pain can take all your body and mind

The intensity of pain affecting both body and mind

You're bawling every day and night but once it's gone

Crying incessantly, but the pain eventually fades away

It all becomes

After pain subsides, it becomes easy to forget the experience

So easy to forget what it's like

Forgetting the difficulty of the past pain

Was it all a dream or am I

Questioning if the past experiences were real or a dream

Somebody different now

Possibly undergoing a significant transformation

Scarring memories

Memories that left emotional scars

The details difficult to recall

Difficulty in recalling specific details of painful memories

Trying to believe the dark's behind me

Trying to believe that darkness is in the past

And I'll stay strong

Commitment to staying strong

Because the girl that I was is gone

The person she used to be has undergone a significant change

Ain't it something how I pleaded and I swore

Reflecting on past pleas and promises

That it was love

Thought it was love, but it wasn't

But it was just

Realizing it was infatuation rather than true love

Another guy that I let myself fall head over heals for

Falling for someone repeatedly

Ain't it something how it tolled on me

The toll it took on her emotionally

How I lost my mind and did so desperately

Losing control of her mind

Again and again like I was addicted

Repeating the pattern as if addicted to finding love

To finding a person who I could adore

Searching for someone to adore

Was it all a dream or am I

Questioning personal transformation

Somebody different now

Possibly changed into a different person

Scarring memories

Memories that left emotional scars (repeated)

The details difficult to recall

Difficulty in recalling specific details of painful memories (repeated)

Trying to believe the dark's behind me

Trying to believe that darkness is in the past (repeated)

And I'll stay strong

Commitment to staying strong (repeated)

Because the girl that I was is gone

The person she used to be has undergone a significant change (repeated)

Gone, yeah she is gone, yeah she is gone

Emphasizing the departure of the past self

Like the stars in the sky

Comparing the departure to the disappearance of stars

Gone, yeah she is gone

Reiterating the departure of the past self

Look carefully there's trace of her in these eyes

There are still traces of the past self in her eyes

That kind of pain stays deep inside

Deep emotional pain that lingers

Ain't it something how nobody else can ever really

No one else truly understands the depth of her pain

Know what it's like

Highlighting the isolation in experiencing such pain

Was it all a dream

Repeating the question of whether the past was a dream

I'm somebody different now

Possibly transformed into a different person

Scarring memories

Memories that left emotional scars (repeated)

The details difficult to recall

Difficulty in recalling specific details of painful memories (repeated)

Trying to believe the dark's behind me

Trying to believe that darkness is in the past (repeated)

And I'll stay strong

Commitment to staying strong (repeated)

Because the girl that I was is gone

The person she used to be has undergone a significant change (repeated)

The girl that I was is gone

Reiteration of the transformation

The girl that I was is gone

-

The girl that I was is gone

Final confirmation of the departure of the past self
