That Was Only Yesterday
Yesterday's Echo: A Heart's Tale of Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
Guess I'll have to get out of this town
Expressing the need to leave the current location.
No sense in my waiting around
No reason to stay and wait anymore.
Only thing left for me here is pain
Feeling that staying only causes emotional suffering.
She's gone for sure now why pretend
Accepting the definite departure of someone.
Left last night with a friend
Indicates the departure of the person last night.
Leaving not a word that would explain
Leaving without providing an explanation.
That was only yesterday
Reflecting on the recent past (yesterday).
But will I ever face tomorrow?
Questioning the ability to confront the future.
She took away what I'd had
Refers to something taken away by the person.
And returned it full of sorrow
That thing was returned, but now filled with sadness.
That was only yesterday
Repeated reflection on the recent past.
Will I ever face tomorrow?
Doubting the ability to confront the next day.
She took away what I'd had
Reiteration of something taken away.
And returned it full of sorrow
Returned, but now filled with sorrow.
I think I better find somewhere
Desire to find a place where emotional pain doesn't matter.
A place where I won't care
A place where feelings can be disregarded.
I need some time to hide my shame
Wanting to hide from embarrassment or guilt.
Was only just one day ago
Highlighting how recent the events occurred.
Found what I'd been searching for
Discovery of something sought after.
Had left town on a late night train
Realization that the sought-after thing has departed.
And that was only yesterday
Repetition of reflecting on the recent past.
But will I ever face tomorrow?
Questioning the capability to face the following day.
She took away what I'd had
Something taken away by the person in question.
And returned it full of sorrow
Returned, now filled with sorrow.
That was only yesterday
Continued reflection on the recent past.
Will I ever face tomorrow?
Uncertainty about facing the future.
She took away what I'd had
Repetition of something taken away.
And returned it full of sorrow
Returned, now filled with sorrow.
That was only yesterday
Reflection on the recent past.
Will I ever face tomorrow?
Doubt about facing the future.
She took away what I'd had
Reiteration of something taken away.
And returned it full of sorrow
Returned, now filled with sorrow.
