It wasnt really sad

the way they said goodbye

Or maybe it just hurts so bad

she couldnt cry

He packed his things walked out the door

and drove away

And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea

to some foreign land

She stayed at home and tried so hard

to understand

How someone who had been so close

could be so far away

And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesnt know whats right

She doesnt know whats wrong

She only know the pain that comes

from waiting for so long

And she doesnt count the teardrops

And she cried while hes away

Because she knows deep in her heart

that hell be back some day

The lights on in the window

shes waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory thats never coming home

She dreams of his returing

and the things that he might say

But shell always be

the girl from yesterday

Yeah shell always be

the girl from yesterday
