Yesterday's Love

Holding on to promises he wrote so long ago
Praying that the pain she feels, doesn't really show
She keeps an image of calm, but deep inside her heart
Is where she lies crying, all broken apart

The stars shined so bright, when he was around
But the moment he left, they came falling down
Now this girl is empty from giving him her all
Just to watch the greatest love take the biggest fall

They say the greater it is the more that it hurts
But nobody said it would take all that she's worth
Even if love were to come knocking again
She's got nothing left, no place to begin

He took everything, and simply walked away
And she's still hoping he'll come back someday
Because no matter what he did, or continues to do
She's hanging on to yesterday's "I love you."
