Yesterday Lyrics

Some might say

I should just get over it

But they don't know the trials and tribulations I've been through

Without you

You were next to me

When you took your final breath

I was holding you tight

And looking into your fading eyes

That used to shine so bright

But they still illuminate my mind

The weight of carrying you on the way home

Was so heavy and my arms felt frail

But I carried on

Because you carried me through my teenage years

And even when I was a child

Learning how cruel life can be

I never understood that until the universe took you away from me

You were next to me

When you took your final breath

I was holding you tight

And looking into your fading eyes

That used to shine so bright

But they still illuminate my mind

It felt like yesterday

I see it all so vividly

I wish I had more

Than 24 hours

To say my final words

Just us two, more than a few

I love you

You told me indirectly that I'll make it through til the end

But our ends met

And I felt the light dimming

When I closed my eyes after you stopped shimmering

At least you weren't shivering anymore

I came home to an empty house

It became darker than before

You were next to me

When you took your final breath

I was holding you tight

And looking into your fading eyes

That used to shine so bright

But they still illuminate my mind
