A Girl I Used To Know
Memories of a Lost Love: A Girl I Used to Know
Lyrics
There's a picture that I carry
Reflecting on a memory captured in a picture
One we made some time ago
Describing the creation of the picture in the past
If they ask who's in the picture with me
Addressing potential inquiries about the person in the picture
I say just a girl, I used to know
Downplaying the significance, referring to her as a past acquaintance
Just a girl, I used to go around with
Emphasizing the casual nature of their past relationship
Just a friend, from long ago
Clarifying that she was just a friend from a distant past
I don't tell them how lost I am without her
Expressing inner feelings of being lost without her
I say she's just a girl, I used to know
Reiterating that she is only a girl from his past
I say, she's just another girl now
Conveying that she's no longer a significant part of his life
Just a flame, that's lost it's glow
Characterizing their past flame as one that has faded
And I say, her name has slipped my mind now
Indicating forgetfulness about her name
And she's just a girl, I used to know
Reiterating that she is now just a girl from the past
Just a girl, I used to spend some time with
Describing a previous period of spending time with her
Just a friend, from long ago
Reaffirming her status as a friend from the distant past
I don't talk about the nights I cry about her
Choosing not to disclose emotional moments spent reminiscing
I say she's just a girl, I used to know
Insisting on the portrayal of her as just a girl from his past
Just a girl I used to know
Repeating the assertion that she is a girl from the past
