I am sitting here,
Looking across the table,
That’s the girl I once knew.
 
I remember last year,
We were inseparable,
Her and I, the girl I once knew.
 
I wish that it were the same,
But times have changed between me,
And the girl I once knew.
 
We are so close,
Yet so far away.
Like two separate worlds,
On one planet,
Me and the girl I once knew.
