It wasnt really sad the way they said goodbye
But 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 of yesterday

He took a plane across the sea to search for land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone whom had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl of yesterday

She doesnt know whats right
She doesnt know whats wrong
She only knows the pain there comes from waiting for so long
And she doesnt count the teardrops that she's cried while he's away
Cause she knows deep in her heart that he'll be back some day

The lights on in the window she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never comin home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl of yesterday
Yea she'll always be the girl of yesterday.....
