It wasn't really sad, the way they said goodbye.
Or maybe it just hurt so bad, she couldn't 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 doesn't know 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 tear drops,
That she's cried while he's away.
Because she knows deep in her heart,
That he'll be back some day.

[Solo]

The light's on in the window,
She's waiting by the phone.
Talking to a memory,
That's never comin' home.
She dreams of him returning,
And the things that he might say.
But she'll always be, the girl from yesterday.
Yes she'll always be, the girl from yesterday.
