Yesterday
It doesn't appear to have been a long time ago.
When we're still young and still don't know
That love has already taken its place.
Back in the glorious young days
Now that we grow older with time,
We can't just think of things sublime
We also have to taste a pint of sorrow.
And take a glimpse of the morrow.
Things changed quickly as we grow.
We were only going lazily with the flow.
Ignored all great deeds we once had,
And often do things that are bad.
It was just like yesterday.
We thought this feeling an easy game to play.
But pain came in all of a sudden.
And it's only me who suffered the burden.
How I long to live like yesterday.
But I have to live for today.
Be it happy or full of sorrows
'Cause that's what makes a better tomorrow.
