Yesterday
Lately, I've been sleeping less
And tossing more
It seems I lie awake, every night
Then I drag myself through the day
All the world's a blur
Voices are blended together
Conversations drift in and out
I cannot concentrate on anything
Well, anything but you...
I'm here but I'm not
I say I'm okay, but I'm just lying
I remember what I can't forget
I'm lost within myself
Following what I cannot find
I am no where at all
I am not sitting here
Here, in this classroom
I am not staring at an open notebook
Today, yesterday, and maybe tomorrow
I am nothing
Nothing but a girl
Staring sadly, sitting in quiet
Thinking of you
I still can feel you...
I still can smell you...
But, I can't be with you
And I so want to be with you
Maybe someday, the setting will change
And the time will be right
Maybe someday, we'll be together, again
Maybe...
But, untill then, I find
That I am just a girl
Just a girl stuck in yesterday
