Yesterday I thought I was the luckiest around

Little did I know that you were gonna take me down

a thousand tears won't wash away the pain

the more I think of you just leaves me standing' out here in the rain

Got to find a way to keep a hold onto my pride

'Cause I know that even when you left you took my side

And the love you feel for me will always be

You'll always be -------

But you had to go, get out on your own

Take a look at the world you don't see

And you never skipped a beat when you walked away from me

Like a butterfly I see, you're free

And a tear rolled down your cheek

as you waved goodbye to me

But you kept on walking never skipped a beat

Sometime I'll get used to spending my nights here on my own

Then I'll have to learn to greet the morning all alone

Yesterdays we shared are like a dream

At night I reach out for you baby and wonder what might have been

I tell myself

we'll try again another time and place

Everywhere I look I always see your face yea

We know this was never meant to be

So you had to go, just get out on your own Girl, without me

You never skipped a beat

when you walked away from me

Like a butterfly I see, you're free

then a tear rolls down your cheek

And I knew it had to be

When you waved goodbye and walked away from me

You never skipped a beat when you walked out on me

Like a butterfly I see, you're free

Then a tear rolls down your cheek

And you waved goodbye to me

But you kept on walking never skipped a beat

You never skipped a beat when you walked away from me

Like a butterfly I see, you're free

When you waved goodbye and walked away from me
