Not the Girl
Evolution of Self: Embracing Change in Holly Macve's 'Not the Girl'
Lyrics
I'm not the girl, that I once was
I have changed from the person I used to be.
And i'll never be that girl again
I will not revert to my previous self.
You once said you were sorry, for not trusting anybody
You apologized for your lack of trust, and I now comprehend your perspective.
And now I understand where you come from
I now understand your reasoning.
You're not the world, that you once were
You are not the same person you once were.
And everyday I come to learn
Every day, I realize that people may not meet your expectations.
That people can't always be what you want them to be
People can't always be what you desire them to be.
And people don't always see what you see
Others may not perceive things the way you do.
The moon shines over us, like it always has
The moon continues to shine over us, seemingly unaffected.
It's watching over us, thinking were all mad
The moon observes us and perceives us as irrational.
And i'm just somebody in a moment of time
I am just an individual in a fleeting moment.
Watching the world go by
I observe the world passing by.
The birds sound like they're singing our song,
The birds' songs resonate with our experiences.
And I still find myself singing along
I still catch myself singing our shared song.
You promised that you'd show me a love that would never leave me
You promised an enduring love, but promises may just be empty words.
But I guess promises are only words
Promises might not always hold true.
By the trees that I used to Climb, there are graves with flowers by their sides
Near the trees I used to climb, there are graves adorned with flowers.
Those lives have come and gone, and time is ticking on
Lives have passed, and time keeps moving forward.
And i'm still wondering why we're all here
I'm still questioning the purpose of our existence.
The moon shines over us, like it always has
The moon remains a constant presence, overseeing our actions.
It's watching over us, thinking were all mad
The moon views us, considering us collectively mad.
And i'm just somebody in a moment of time
I am merely an individual existing in a brief moment.
Watching the world go by (x4)
Repeated refrain: Continuously observing the world go by.
