It was a little past 9 on a Monday
When I met your friendly hazel eyes
I remember it like it was yesterday
You waved to me to my surprise
I can't tell you how much you meant to me
Back then, I was a lonely wreck
You, my one friend, were better than three
To me on my forever friend rain check
But what happened, is it just me
You now have more friends, more beauty, more love
You seem happy, so good to see
Was it the new voice
Or the dress choice
It's not you anymore, standing there
It's not the you I knew
You fit in like an angel
When I'm not the one besides you
I'm just holding you back, I'm sorry
I just wanted to be your friend, too
I don't deserve your attention
Or cry as I'm doing now
Why can't I just fit in for once
Again, I'm so ungrateful
But your laugh? Not you
And your drama? Not you
Your mood, your tone, your closed view
It's not the you I knew
Am I just being a tad dramatic?
Should I put my nose out of your business?
Are you just growing up, automatic
It's probably just my own long stress
But your laugh? Not you
And your drama? Not you
Your mood, your tone, your closed view
It's not the you I knew
It's not an old classic kid's fairytale
"Miss the old, hate the new"
That's never happening
I just wonder if you've changed for the better
Because I've left you to be
It's not the you I knew
But maybe the you I knew
Wasn't as happy
Wasn't as popular
Wasn't as you, as you
As the you you were beside me
Not the you I knew
Perhaps I should let you go
Not the you I knew
And it fits you like a glass slipper
Not the you I knew
And you're happier this way
Not you
No
It's just not the you I knew
But it is
It just might be
The real you you couldn't be beside me
The real you you couldn't be beside me
