That Was Yesterday

I thought I knew you well

ˈaɪ ˈθɑɾ ˈaɪ ˈnu ˈju ˈwɛɫ

But all this time I could never tell

ˈbʌɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðɪs ˈtʰaɪm ˈaɪ kəd ˈnɛvɚ ˈtʰɛɫ

I let you get away

ˈaɪ ˈlɛt ˈju ˈɡɛɾ əˈweɪ

Haunts me every night and every day

ˈhɑnts ˈmi ˈɛvrɪ ˈnaɪɾ ən ˈɛvrɪ ˈdeɪ

You were the only one

ˈju ˈwɝ ðiː ˈoʊnlɪ ˈwʌn

The only friend that I counted on

ðiː ˈoʊnlɪ ˈfrɛnd ˈðæt ˈaɪ ˈkʰaʊntəd ˈɑn

How could I watch you walk away

ˈhaʊ kəd ˈaɪ ˈwɑtʃ ˈju ˈwɑk əˈweɪ

I’d give anything to have you here today

ˈaɪd ˈɡɪv ˈɛniˌθɪŋ tə ˈhæv ˈju ˈhɪr təˈdeɪ

But now I stand alone with my pride

ˈbʌt ˈnaʊ ˈaɪ ˈstænd əˈloʊn ˈwɪθ ˈmaɪ ˈpraɪd

And dream that you’re still by my side

ən ˈdrim ˈðæt ˈjɔr ˈstɪɫ ˈbaɪ ˈmaɪ ˈsaɪd

But that was yesterday

ˈbʌt ˈðæt ˈwəz ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

I had the world in my hands

ˈaɪ ˈhæd ðə ˈwɝɫd ˈɪn ˈmaɪ ˈhændz

But it’s not the end of my world

ˈbʌt ˈɪts ˈnɑt ðiː ˈɛnd əv ˈmaɪ ˈwɝɫd

Just a slight change of plans

ˈdʒʌst ə ˈslaɪt ˈtʃeɪndʒ əv ˈplænz

That was yesterday

ˈðæt ˈwəz ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

But today life goes on

ˈbʌt təˈdeɪ ˈlaɪf ˈɡoʊz ˈɑn

No more hiding in yesterday

ˈnoʊ ˈmɔr ˈhaɪɾɪŋ ˈɪn ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

´cause yesterday’s gone

ˈkʰɑz ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪz ˈɡɑn

Love, my love I gave it all

ˈlʌv | ˈmaɪ ˈlʌv ˈaɪ ˈɡeɪv ˈɪɾ ˈɑɫ

Thought I saw the light

ˈθɑɾ ˈaɪ ˈsɑ ðə ˈlaɪt

When I heard you call

ˈwɛn ˈaɪ ˈhɝd ˈju ˈkʰɑɫ

Life that we both could share

ˈlaɪf ˈðæt ˈwi ˈboʊθ ˈkʰʊd ˈʃɛr

Has deserted me

ˈhæz dɪˈzɝɾəd ˈmi

Left me in despair

ˈlɛft ˈmi ˈɪn dɪˈspɛr

But now I stand alone with my pride

ˈbʌt ˈnaʊ ˈaɪ ˈstænd əˈloʊn ˈwɪθ ˈmaɪ ˈpraɪd

Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry

ˈfaɪɾɪŋ ˈbæk ðə ˈtʰɪrz ˈaɪ ˈnɛvɚ ˈlɛt maɪˈsɛɫf ˈkraɪ

But that was yesterday

ˈbʌt ˈðæt ˈwəz ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

Love was torn from my hands

ˈlʌv ˈwəz ˈtʰɔrn frəm ˈmaɪ ˈhændz

But it’s not the end of my world

ˈbʌt ˈɪts ˈnɑt ðiː ˈɛnd əv ˈmaɪ ˈwɝɫd

Just a little hard to understand

ˈdʒʌst ə ˈlɪɾɫ̩ ˈhɑrd ˈtʰu ˌʌndɚˈstænd

That was yesterday

ˈðæt ˈwəz ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

But today life goes on

ˈbʌt təˈdeɪ ˈlaɪf ˈɡoʊz ˈɑn

You won’t find me in yesterday’s world

ˈju ˈwoʊnt ˈfaɪnd ˈmi ˈɪn ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪz ˈwɝɫd

Now yesterday’s gone

ˈnaʊ ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪz ˈɡɑn

Goodbye yesterday

ɡʊdˈbaɪ ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ

Now it’s over and done

ˈnaʊ ˈɪts ˈoʊvɚ ən ˈdʌn

Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart

ˈstɪɫ ˈaɪ ˈhoʊp ˈsʌmˌwɛr ˈdip ˈɪn ˈjɔr ˈhɑrt

Yesterday will live on

ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ ˈwɪɫ ˈlɪv ˈɑn
