Yesterday

I have such a story to tell
My life I could rearrange
From sappy and sad to sad but true
My days so ever change

One day I say he doesn't love me enough
The solution is to walk away
Then I meet one who is needy and weak and I dream of a better days

Why do I want him to love me
And when he finally does - I leave
Then I meet someone who is conclusive. And I take my heart off of my sleeve

One day I want him to love me
Then I believe he is too involved
So I tell him I appreciate him
And then my feelings dissolve

Am I a gluten for punishment
Do I seek out a man full of abuse
Will I always walk away from happiness
Will I substitute love for a nuse

Do I punish him for loving too much
Will I gently show him the door
Am I so used to living with a broken heart
Am I accustomed to walking the floor

Would the perfect man bring satisfaction
Or would I find fault and walk away
Will I ever find the perfect someone
Or am I too critical to play

I once lived and I loved
Deeper than one could imagine
There is nothing in the world that could top it
There is nothing like when the days I had him

A blind woman with such ambition
I guess I was in over my head
To think I could one day have it all
Without him
Was like waking up from the dead

Life was always so easy
When I was twenty-four
Put me in the same place in time
And let us end this war.

Rewind the precious memories
Let us pretend it was just yesterday
And we would live happily ever after
while taking time to play
