You can change your life (if you wanna)
You can change your clothes (if you want to)
If you change your mind
Well that's the way it goes
But I'm gonna keep your jeans
And your old black hat
'Cause I want to
They look good on me
Your never gonna get them back
At least not today,
Not today, not today 'cause

If it's over let it go, and,
Come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off
And let it go and
When you wake up
It will seem so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok?

Ha!
Ok,
You can say you're bored (if you wanna)
You can act real tough (if you wanna)
You can say you're torn
But I've heard enough, thank you
You made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Can you see a single tear?
It isn't gonna happen here.
At least not today,
Not today, not today 'cause

If it's over let it go, and,
Come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off
And let it go and
When you wake up
It will seem so yesterday
So yesterday,
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok?

If you're over me, I'm already over you
If it's all been done, what is left to do?
How can you hang up if the line is dead?
If you want to walk out, then step ahead
If you're moving on, I'm already gone
If the light is off then it isn't on
At least not today
Not today, not today 'cause

If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow, it will seem so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off
And let it go and
When you wake up
It will seem so yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard

Come tomorrow, it will seem so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off
And let it go and
When you wake up
It will seem so yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be ok?
