Lyrics
Yesterday
Reflection on the past; a time that has passed.
All my trouble seemed so far away
Previous problems seemed distant and unimportant.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Current troubles seem persistent and ongoing.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
An affirmation of belief in the past's significance.
Suddenly
A sudden change or shift in circumstances.
I'm not half the man I used to be
Feeling incomplete or diminished compared to the past.
There's a shadow hanging over me
Feeling overshadowed by a problem or issue.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Realization of how quickly the past changed or vanished.
Why she had to go I don't know
Questioning the reason for someone's departure.
She wouldn't say
The departed person's silence about the reason for leaving.
I said something wrong
Regret for saying something that caused the departure.
Now I long for yesterday
Longing or yearning for the past.
Yesterday
Reiteration of the reflection on the past.
Love was such an easy game to play
Recalling how love used to be effortless.
Now I need a place to hide away
Desire to find a refuge or escape from current difficulties.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Reaffirmation of faith in the past's importance.
Why she had to go
Reiteration of the question about someone's departure.
Yesterday
Revisiting the ease of love in the past.
Love was such an easy game to play
Reiteration of the need to find a place of solace.
Now I need a place to hide away
Reaffirmation of the belief in the past's significance.
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Final affirmation of faith in the importance of the past.
