HEY GIRL
It’s so hard to break through my well-trained pride
So I don’t even know you, God knows I tried
You speak your mind
Wish I could be a bit more like your kind
I think inside
Why can’t I leave all this behind
(CHORUS)
Hey girl, you were my only friend
I have adored you from afar and now you’re tearing me apart
Hey girl, you were my only love
I’ve stayed a shadow in this game just to watch you slip away
It’s so hard to see you with my naked sight
So I can’t even dream you, God knows I tried
You live, you strive
Wish I could be a bit more like your kind
I die inside
Why can’t I leave all this behind
(CHORUS)
It’s so hard for me to prove
What I’m feeling’s really true
So I fade away every night and day
Why can’t I break through?
