Renewal and moving on with life in a positive direction
lyrics
Not so long ago she left,
Out my doorway,
Felt my heart crumble to a thousand pieces
She felt the same
Thought I’d never see her face again,
Five years later,
There she stood, right in front of me,
Is it alright if we could sit and talk?
I had asked her,
It’s good to see you after all this time,
How time’s gone by,
How have you been and how are you doing now?
I had asked her,
For her words and her honesty,
She said
Yesterday I thought I knew who I was running toward the flame,
Yesterday I went through hell and back with no one else to blame,
Yesterday my life was on a track that was causing me such pain,
Yesterday I chased a daydream that just seemed to just fade away
There’s too much silence,
Too much silence that’s gone on,
We need to balance,
We’ve got to make more right than wrong,
And I know, I know, I know,
We indirectly cause such pain,
But I know, sometimes our troubles bring us gain, oh oh…
Even troubles from yesterday
Not so long ago I said,
That I love you
And in my heart I know that this hasn’t changed,
But time moves on,
There was a reason you and I had met
Five years later,
To be free from yesterday
Yesterday we thought we knew who we were running toward the flame,
Yesterday we went through hell and back with no one else to blame,
Yesterday our lives was on a track that was causing us such pain,
Yesterday we chased a daydream that became real just today
