Yesterday (I'm Done)

I hope you have found your place

A new life, a new beginning

I hope you turn out ok

Love this life that you are living



I never gave up on you

I simply ran away

Now that I am no longer the only one

There's still no reason here to stay



Let me go, I'm done

It has been time for me to move on

I killed my chances and I'm gone

So far away

Why did yesterday end up this way?



Hear the footsteps, they stop outside your door

Don't think of me, don't remind me anymore

I was never the one to walk in on you sleeping

I'd rather be next to you, just like in the beginning



Let me go, I'm done

It has been time for me to move on

I killed my chances and I'm gone

So far away

Why did yesterday end up this way?



Driving madly was never such an issue

If I died right here right now,

Would you send me an "I miss you"?

I don't care right now

You found a new place

You are so far away

And I can never stay!



Let me go, I'm done

It has been time for me to move on

I killed my chances and I'm gone

So far away

Why did yesterday end up this way?



You light the match, here I'll stay

Fade to dust and ashes I will stay

Never to harm you again, I am done and gone away

Crush me in your fingers as you think back on yesterday



I do not want to know the truth

Of what is hidden behind closed doors

I don't care at all, but you are a mystery to me

I am scared right now

That I will never be who I was

I fade away, you look away

I was never the one to stay and



Let me go, I'm done

It has been time for me to move on

I killed my chances and I'm gone

So far away

Why did yesterday end up this way?



Forget yesterday, yesterday, yesterday

I was there to stay, I'm gone away, gone away

You broke my heart today, heart today, heart today

I fade away, fade away, Good bye today!



Let me go, I'm done

It took a lifetime to move on

I lost my remances and I'm gone

So far today

Why did yesterday have to end up this way?

I wrote this with several different people in mind that it could easily apply to. Anyone I've liked, who got a bf and/or ditched me for another guy...this is for you.

This one is really good! I like it because it's easy to relate to and it's sad, but it's not like completely and totally depressing.
