Yesterday

I'm mostly quiet now
that you are gone and I
am back to walking by the river lonely every night

We used to burn so bright
but you gave up the fight
And you reflect the sky
the sweetest rain in your eyes

there's nothing left I need as long as you are by my side
Can I stay one more night?
I'll try to touch you right
Oh how we lived in a world of our own

with your hands and your words and the sparks in your room
you read the sky at night like a map of my wounds
You awakened me slowly I opened for you but
You've had enough of me
and all my misery

I'm back to running with the haunted 'cause they won't leave me alone
I should smile I had you for a while
But everyone I know is leaving seems like no one will arrive
And now the blankness that broods in my mind

I am willing to die to remain by your side
Close your eyes don't let your feet touch the ground
And the stars in the sky to remember us by
I touch my skin where your hands used to live

And I still feel the echo of your fingerprints
You know my past, my scars, my weakness, and wounds
You awakened me slowly, I opened for you but
You've had enough of me
and all my misery

I'm back to running with the haunted 'cause they won't leave me alone
I should smile I had you for a while
But everyone I know is leaving seems like no one will arrive
I'm staying up all night chasing butterflies

I will forever be the girl who tried to jump but couldn't fly
I volunteer for sacrifice
And I know I'm hard to love but God I hope you know I tried
Oh I tried

Another day
I sleep in pain
'cause these regrets won't go away
A brand new day, how can I find my great escape?
Another day
I sleep in pain
'cause I still hear the words you said
if you don't feel the same
I'll stay in yesterday
I'm mostly quiet now
that you are gone and I
am back to walking by the river lonely every night
We used to burn so bright
but you gave up the fight
