Lyrics
I thought I knew you well
I believed I understood you thoroughly
But all this time I could never tell
Throughout our time together, I couldn't perceive certain things about you
I let you get away
I allowed you to escape or leave
Haunts me every night and every day
This decision troubles me constantly, both day and night
You were the only one
You were the sole person I trusted and relied on
The only friend I counted on
You were my only true friend
How could I watch you walk away
How could I endure watching you leave?
I'd give anything to have you here today
I would give anything to have you with me in the present
But now I stand alone with my pride
Now I find myself alone with my dignity
And dream that you're still by my side
I daydream that you are still with me
But that was yesterday
However, those moments belong to the past
I had the world in my hands
I once had everything I desired
But it's not the end of my world
Although it feels like the end of the world
Just a slight change of plans
It's just a minor deviation from my original plans
That was yesterday
Those moments are now behind me
But today life goes on
Yet life continues in the present
No more hiding in yesterday
No more dwelling on the past
'Cause yesterday's gone, oh
Because the past is gone
Love, my love I gave it all
I gave my love entirely
Thought I saw the light, when I heard you call
I felt hopeful when I heard your call
Life that we both could share
The life we could have shared has abandoned me
Has deserted me, left me in despair
I am left in deep distress and sadness
But now I stand alone with my pride
Now I'm alone, preserving my self-respect
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry
Suppressing tears I never allowed myself to shed
But that was yesterday
Yet, those were moments of the past
Love was torn from my hands
Love was forcibly taken from me
But it's not the end of my world
It's not the end of everything
Just a little hard to understand
Just challenging to comprehend
That was yesterday
Those moments are behind me
But today life goes on
Yet life persists in the present
You won't find me in yesterday's world
You won't find me living in the past
Now yesterday's gone
Because the past is over
Goodbye yesterday
Farewell to the past
Now it's over and done
It's concluded and finalized
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
However, I hope that somewhere in your heart
Yesterday will live on, oh
Memories of the past will endure
