One More Yesterday

(album: Songwriter - 2022)

Looking back on what we had
Before the bridges burned
The plans we made, the give and take
So little in return
If nothing else, we lost ourselves
Somewhere along the way
What I'd give for one more yesterday

I was never gonna let you down
Gave you solid ground when your world was shaking
How could it come to this
All I tried to fix only ended up breaking
I remember long before we laid to rest
The promises that washed away
What I'd give for one more yesterday

The memories, the used to bes
Are complicating things
The would've beens, the could've beens
Are suffocating me
Now you're gone, I'm choking on
The words that always came out wrong
What I'd give for one more yesterday

I was never gonna let you down
Gave you solid ground when your world was shaking
How could it come to this
All I tried to fix only ended up breaking
I remember long before we laid to rest
The promises that washed away
What I'd give for one more yesterday

I know we both said
Moving on was only for the better
I know we both left
Behind what could've been more together
Saying it doesn't make it so
Should've never let us go

I was never gonna let you down
Gave you solid ground when your world was shaking
How could it come to this
All I tried to fix only ended up breaking
I remember long before we laid to rest
The promises that washed away
What I'd give for one more yesterday
