Thoughts of Yesterday

by Twisted Heart   May 20, 2007


Tender is the heart that weeps
Clouding thoughts and memories
A soul is torn, a dream it takes
Inside the thoughts of yesterday

Inside the mind a heartache lives
A painful thought it can't forgive
It almost takes the breath away
Inside the thoughts of yesterday

No haunting words come to light
Just teardrops falling in the night
As the soul begins to fray
Inside the thoughts of yesterday.

Hope has tumbled for the course
Split the house with driving force
Shattering the mind's display
Inside the thoughts of yesterday

Now broken soul inside the heart
Ripped the seams, fell apart
No comfort for the mind, they prey
Inside the thoughts of yesterday.

Tender comes the night to hold
A broken heart, a broken soul
That lives alone among the gray
Inside the thoughts of yesterday.

    Tender comes the night to hold
