The Other Girl

by Christina McDowell   Jan 29, 2007


I was so naive
I never thought
That I'd have to grieve
For times we've fought

I thought you were true
And that you'd never cheat
I had been so faithful to you
But I had been beat

There was the other girl with you
While you were with me
You had never been true
I had lost life's melody

We had gone through so much
We had been so big
I just wanted your touch
It was all a gig

You had to be a player
You played with my heart
I now say a prayer
That I won't fall apart

She took my place
She took you away...
I covered my face
Afraid to see the light of day

I can't stand the other girl
She messed with what we were
I felt a weird whirl
But I'd never wish I were you

You didn't feel the same
About me anymore
It was all a game
So you walked out the door

I'll be okay
I've moved on
My world has been gray
Since you've been gone

But I'll stand up
Even after I've fallen down
I'll even smile
Even after my face was in a frown

I never mattered
It was just that other girl
Even after I shattered
You went after her

My heart is gray
And filled with sorrow
But I'll love today
And even tomorrow...
