Yesterday Was You

[Verse 1] I sleep on your side Like you might come back Your shadow moves slow In the hall… in the black Your cup’s where you left My lipstick still there I don’t move a thing Like you’re still in the air [Pre-Chorus] I speak… like you hear me Hold breath… like you’re near me [Chorus] You were my always My fire, my truth Now you’re just echoes In rooms without you I gave you all All I could do Now all I have is Yesterday… was you [Verse 2] I wear your old shirt It falls from my skin The mirror looks back But it’s not me within I count every crack Like it might explain Why love disappears But still leaves the pain [Pre-Chorus] I say your name softly Like it might call you to me [Chorus] You were my always My fire, my truth Now you’re just echoes In rooms without you I gave you all All I could do Now all I have is Yesterday… was you [Bridge] (very airy, almost spoken) I almost faded I almost let go Stood on the edge Of nobody knowing But something stayed A quiet light Barely a whisper… “I’ll be alright…” [Final Chorus] (gentle lift, not big) You were my always My fire, my truth But I’m still breathing Here without you I lost the life I thought I knew But something waits Beyond the blue [Outro] (very minimal, fading) I moved the cup I made the bed Let silence stay Where you once lived It still hurts though… But I made it through… Yesterday… was you
