[Verse 1] He packed his things walked out the door and drove away She stood there alone with the screen door shaking and nothing to say [Pre-Chorus] The house held its breath the porch light burned low She looked at the place where his shadow would go [Chorus] And she became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) A name he knew but couldn't stay Couldn't stay And every room kept calling his name She became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) [Verse 2] His mug by the sink his coat on the chair turned into dust The radio hissed with a half-finished song and nobody touched She traced old cracks in the faded wall paint like lines in a hand What used to be home turned cold in her palms before she could stand [Pre-Chorus] The dog by the gate kept waiting around She watched the back road fade into town [Chorus] And she became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) A name he knew but couldn't stay Couldn't stay And every room kept calling his name She became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) [Bridge] She folded the blue dress he said looked so right and put it in boxes by the fading light Then she laughed once just to keep from crying Looked in the mirror and found herself trying [Chorus] And she became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) A name he knew but couldn't stay Couldn't stay And every room kept calling his name She became the girl from yesterday (From yesterday) [Outro] He packed his things walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from yesterday
