Saw you on the street the other day
Now I heard you went away
Yeah I heard them say that’s typical
You used to hang out at the corner store
Sometimes we talked but nothing more
Said I always thought you were beautiful

You were just one girl
I barely knew your name
Now you’re gone
And it gets me just the same
To think of such a life
Being wasted

You try to paper over all the cracks
Pull down your sleeves to cover your tracks
And hide the price of bliss
You had to feel that golden touch
One moment’s rush, one grain too much
Did you ever dream it would come to this

You were just one girl
I barely knew your name
Now you’re gone
And it gets me just the same
To think of such a life
Of such a life
Being wasted

Saw you on the street the other day
Now I heard you went away

You were just one girl
I barely knew your name
Now you’re gone
And it gets me just the same
And it gets me just the same
Yes you were just a girl
You were just a girl
Being wasted
Just wasted
