wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, out the door and drove away she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea To some land She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't what's right She doesn't know what's wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the teardrops That she's cried while he's Because she knows deep in her heart he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming home She of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
