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
