[Verse 1]
Five minutes 'til the curtain goes up
And how I hate myself for thinking of you
So in the past but the memory lasts
Of how you hated everything that I'd do

You never paid attention
To dreams I'd mention
You'd just go out your way to simply ignore
You'd say you're never gonna make it
Bring your feet back down to the floor
But no more

[Chorus]
Now my band is playing
I hear you saying
"Ain't that the girl that I use to know?"
My fans are screaming
No, I'm not dreaming
Now I don't search for your face
In my sold-out crowd anymore
Oh oh, oh yeah
Yeah that's my song on the radio
Now that I'm flying you'll be the one that's saying
"Oh, ain't that the girl I used to know?"
[Verse 2]
So count it off
Yeah I'm ready to rock
There's no place on earth that I'd rather be
Center stage and the band starts to play
And the entire world is feeling the heat

But I don't feel like pressure
It's so familiar
I ran this scene a million times in my head
I took the pain you caused me and
I put it in a song instead instead

[Chorus]
Now my band is playing
I hear you saying
"Ain't that the girl that I use to know?"
My fans are screaming
No, I'm not dreaming
Now I don't search for your face
In my sold-out crowd anymore
Oh oh, oh yeah
Yeah that's my song on the radio
Now that I'm flying you'll be the one that's saying
"Oh, ain't that the girl I used to know?"
[Bridge]
You want your name on the backstage listed?
You really think I would?
You made me laugh whatcha' thinking about?
Security will just show you the way out

[Chorus]
"Ain't that the girl that I use to know?"
My fans are screaming
No, I'm not dreaming
Now I don't search for your face
In my sold-out crowd anymore
Oh oh, oh yeah
Yeah that's my song on the radio
Now that I'm flying you'll be the one that's saying
"Oh, ain't that the girl I used to know?"

My band is playing
I hear you saying
"Ain't that the girl that I use to know?"
My fans are screaming
No, I'm not dreaming
Now I don't search for your face
In my sold-out crowd anymore
Oh oh, oh yeah
Yeah that's my song on the radio
Now that I'm flying you'll be the one that's saying
"Oh, ain't that the girl I used to know?"
