Just a Girl
I know I was not the one to set your heart on fire
infatuation lays in dust with days long since expired
I wasn't close to being the dream you wanted to come true
I'm just a girl who long ago fell deeply in love with you
I'm not the key that fits the lock and opens up a door
I did not have the power to give all you wanted and more
there was just no miracle or wishes upon a star
I'm the one in the rear view mirror, when you drove off in your car
when you look back and wonder if you had gone that way
will you see the promise of what you once held at bay
I wasn't close to being the dream you wanted to come true
I'm just a girl who long ago fell deeply in love with you
