She's Just a Girl I Used to Know
Echoes of a Past Love: She's Just a Memory Now
Lyrics
There's a picture that I carry
Reflecting on a specific image or memory.
One we made some time ago
Recalling a moment from the past.
If they ask who's in the picture with me,
Addressing inquiries about the person in the picture.
I say just a girl I used to know
Minimizing the importance of the past relationship.
Just a girl, I used to go around with
Emphasizing the casual nature of the past connection.
Just a friend, from long ago,
Clarifying the person was just a friend.
I don't tell them how lost I am without her
Expressing a sense of loss without disclosing it.
I say she's just a girl I used to know
Downplaying the significance of the past romance.
I say she's just another girl now
Stating that the person is now insignificant.
Just a flame, that's lost it's glow
Describing a fading flame and lost connection.
And I say, her name has slipped my mind now,
Claiming forgetfulness of the person's name.
And she's just a girl I used to know
Reiterating that the person is now a distant memory.
Just a girl I used to spend some time with
Recalling moments spent with the person.
Just a friend from long ago
Confirming a past friendship.
I don't talk about the nights I cry about her
Keeping private the emotional pain of separation.
I say she's just a girl I used to know
Insisting on treating the past relationship lightly.
Just a girl I used to know
Reiterating that the person is now a distant memory.
