In an interview with ARTISTdirect, Brendon Urie elaborated on the song's creation by saying:
"There’s a song on our album called ‘Girl That You Love.’ It wasn’t originally called that. It sounded the same, the melodies were the same. I got back from a vacation with my wife, Spencer and his girlfriend. We spent two days in London and four days in Paris. It was a week of vacationing, having a good time, good food. We got back and I was trying to learn French, and slowly getting it, then started to lose it and got mad at myself. I wanted to write a song in French. I was singing in French, which was ‘Marshmallow Heart,’ and everyone heard it as ‘Girl That You Love.’ I had the song mapped out… singing in French. Then it became matching syllables to words in English. That’s how it got built, from French to English, with different meaning, but matching syllables."[2]

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Drop every pretense
Drown every sense you own
For the girl that you love
Girl you loathe
Insistent pretext
So what does that make God
To the girl that you love?
Girl you loathe
[Chorus]
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Knows you don't
[Verse 2]
Denominations
Surrender all control (All control)
To the girl that you love (Girl that you love)
All control
Our indignation
To every tainted soul (Tainted soul)
And the girl you love (Girl you love)
All control (All control)
[Chorus]
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Knows you don't
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
Knows you don't
[Bridge]
Followed her, followed her
Followed her, followed her home
[Outro]
Girl that you love
Girl that you love
