Yesterday

It only seems like yesterday
That we were laughing on the swing,
Your arms wrapped warmly round my waist;
It was more than just a fling

It only seems like yesterday
That not even the Earth's gravity,
Could keep your feet firm on the ground
When you were with me

It only seems like yesterday
That I heard your heart thump fast,
When you held my hand so gently
I was so sure it would last

It only seems like yesterday
I saw that sparkle in your eyes,
How I'd be too scared to look in them
Knowing how they'd hypnotize

It only seems like yesterday
That we were stood where we first met
You didn't care that it was raining,
And that you were soaking wet

But it only seems like yesterday,
When the roles began to change
You weren't the boy I fell in love with,
Everything was strange.
You had lied and you had cheated,
But my heart forgave you so
I took you back despite the misery
And you said you'd never go.
But the months slowly went on
And you quickly changed again,
I finally began to realise;
Things would never be the same
So I left you all alone,
Like the way that you left me,
This time I wasn't coming back
I knew I'd make you see
So it only seems like yesterday,
That I'd smile 'cause you were mine
But now I can't even smile,
And say your name at the same time.
