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 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 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 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
