It wasn't really the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked 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 know what's right 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 while he's away Because knows deep in her heart That 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 She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
