Yesterday I saw the sun, though night has seen it fade
This morning brought dark clouds, and heavy rain
Yesterday I knew your love, but you’ve taken it away
To leave me here with nothing, but my pain

What has caused this lost and dreadful breaking of my heart
I need an explanation, can’t you see?
Someone please, just tell me why my world was torn apart
The answers I can’t buy, and they’re not free

Yesterday was sweet and kind, I felt that this would last
Today, sorrow has shown to me it’s face
Happiness seems long ago, far deep into my past
And heartache has arrived, to take her place

The moments pass like days for me, and days drag on for years
I’m blind to what the future has in store
All I see before my eyes, are my descending tears
They crash and break, as glass upon my floor

These empty arms still hold the thought of soft, and sweet caress
Though I awake from nightmares, still alone
At times I drift back into dreams, I hear you answer yes
But morning tells me no, and you’re still gone

I know this sounds insane to some, and me?... I just can’t tell
I’ve lost direction, gone reason and rhyme
I know that in this prison of my mind, that I’m unwell
The clock has stopped for me, I’m lost in time

I listen to old music, though it helps me, not at all
This pounding in my head leads me astray
And like that sad old Beatles song, I’m feeling just like Paul
I sit alone and long, for Yesterday.
