Here I am
Looking through
That same window again
Got me hurting
To see you
Attack me
Jealousy always wondering
If I'm being true
Why can't I be ready for you
[Chorus]
You want too much of me
Why can't I shine[why can't I shine]
How could you do me that way
The girl from yesterday
Today I'm gone away
Away, away, away
You pushed me away
Yesterday, yesterday
If somebody loved me
The way that I have loved you
I would be secure
But you have friends that think they know
How this relationship should go
Forces from the outside
Destroying us
Why can't I be a woman
[Chorus]
So far away the girl from yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday
How could you leave me this way
The girl from yesterday
How could you do it
You were my lover
You were my friend
And you're pushing me
Pushing me away
I love you, tust you, need you
