What happened to the girl I used to know?

The happy days; they seem so long ago

You swore it wouldn’t affect you

The day that you scorned so



But you’re an adult now

Trying to stay alive

And I just don’t know how

Our friendship can survive



Because now I don’t know you

Now I am confused

Everything I once knew was true

Sits in my mind unused

And I fear that we are drifting

Apart like he did from us

And I don’t like crying

But it’s so hard to suppress



Do you remember that time

When you’d just swing by

And I would climb

Into the truck with a happy sigh



Oh, your schedule’s always full

Barely any time for me

And it’s not like I can pull

You away with a plea



And now I don’t know you

Now I am confused

Everything I once knew was true

Sits in my mind unused

And I fear we are drifting

Apart like he did from us

And I don’t like crying

But it’s hard to suppress



How can it be?

That the onetime you’re free,

I have homework

Or responsibilities I just can’t shirk



‘Cause now I don’t know you

Now I am confused

Everything I once knew was true

Sits in my mind unused

And I fear we are drifting

Apart like he did from us

And I don’t like crying

But it’s so hard to suppress



So, are we drifting?

Leaving the happy days behind?

Will my life keep shifting?

Without the friend

I used to know
