Lyrics - That Was Yesterday by Foreigner

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 that
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
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
