You and Yesterday
[Verse 1]
I pushed you away because you pulled me
It felt too right, so I left
We're evergreen in the glow of the party
But you're gone when the lights turn on again
[Chorus]
Now I'm on my third cup of coffee
Tell my momma I'm sorry
I just can't stay awake when you're living in my dreams
And all these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
[Verse 2]
I load myself into your story
And thought that I could change the end
I was jaded and captivated, infatuated with all the maybes
Held my breath as you held me
A pretty picture of pretend
[Chorus]
Now I'm on my third cup of coffee
Tell my momma I'm sorry
I just can't stay awake when you're living in my dreams
And all these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
[Bridge]
But you come back and you say
"I guess I haven't really been around"
I noticed
"I guess that we both tore this to the ground"
And you missed all the things I never said to you
But go and prove how you didn't ever wanna do me wrong
Okay, well, I didn't ever wanna write this song
But I fell into those arms that whispered, "Stay with me"
And just a memory
[Chorus]
Now I've got a cold cup of coffee
Wish I'd told you I'm sorry
It's just hard to be loved and be let go
'Cause these ghosts in the hallway
Make me tell you I can't stay
But at the end of the night, I know that I'm to blame
I'm not in love with you, just in love with yesterday
