I thought i knew you well
but all this time i could never tell
i let you get away
haunts me every night and every day
You were the only one
the only friend i counted on
how could i watch you walk away
i'd give anything to have you here today
But now i stand alone with my pride
and dream that you're still by my side
But that was yesterday
i had the world in my hands
but it's not the end of my world
just a slight change of plans
that was yesterday
but today life goes on
no more hiding in yesterday
'cause yesterday's gone, ooooh!
Love, my love i gave it all
thought i saw the light, when i heard you call
life that we both could share
has deserted me, left me in despair
But now i stand alone with my pride
fighting back the tears i never let myself cry
But that was yesterday
love was torn from my hands
but it's not the end of my world
just a little hard to understand
that was yesterday
but today life goes on
you won't find me in yesterday's world
now yesterday's gone
goodbye yesterday
now it's over and done
still i hope somewhere deep in your heart
yesterday will live on, ooooh!
