Yesterday's Blues (Live) Lyrics

I feel like it's yesterday's news

But nobody told you

That I am doing fine on my own

And these ebonies and ironies

They travel down inside of me

And tell me that I'm better off alone

The pothole hotline is down again

And the caller won't stop calling out your name

But my heart and head are torn

For this chaos keeps me warm

It reminds me of when I would do the same

Your thoughtful letter, it came in the mail

I never thought that I would see the sight

But I don't think that I'll read it

I think I'm gonna need it

For some lonesome evening

Not unlike tonight

I feel like it's yesterday's news

But nobody told you

That I am doing fine on my own

And these ebonies and ironies

They travel down inside of me

And tell me that I'm better off alone

I'm writing a novel

About feeling for fun

About loving being never done in vain

I'll put holes in my skin

But I refuse to let you in

My choices mean that I control the pain

I feel so foolish for tying you down

I'm wailing while I'm waiting for your call

I was lost then I was found

But you stopped coming around

So I'll paint your face and hang it on my wall

I feel like it's yesterday's news

But nobody told you

That I am doing fine on my own

And these ebonies and ironies

They travel down inside of me

And tell me that I'm better off alone

This may be yesterday's news

But I'm here to tell you

That you will be just fine on your own

And these enemies and rivalries

Are just a waste of time for me

And that's why I think I'm better off alone

Oh, it's why I think I'm better off alone

That's why I think I'm better off alone
