The Beatles' Yesterday redone. I took Paul's lament and ran with it. Adding my own frustration to the song.

lyrics

Yesterday was sun. Yesterday was sky blue.
Yesterday was love just me and you.
When yesterday
Ywas here life was full and clear
No doubt no pain no pain no fear.
But today has dawned. Yes today has come.
And the two that we were have become the one.
Am I running to or am I running from?
Yesterday I knew it all today I'm deaf and dumb.
Blind, stupid and once again the fool.
I play my part well but can't play it cool.
'Cause I run hot when I think of you.
Now I think not when I think of you.
Now tell me what the hell am I supposed to do.
I would live I would fight I would die for you.
Now all my troubles are here to stay.
Yes, I believe in yesterday.

Oh I believe oh I believe oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.

I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a dark black shadow hanging over me.
Now tell me where I'm going where I'm supposed to be
Now tell me what to do what I'm supposed to see.
What I'm supposed to (Damn!) what I'm supposed to learn.
This hell is so cold wish I could burn.
Away with my heart down to the ash.
Live for today forget the past.
Spotless mind, eternal sunshine.
Spotless mind, eternal sunshine.
Spotless mind, eternal sunshine.
I'm a petty thief. Love is the crime.
In a prison of self doing my time.
25 to life I do my time.
Suddenly, suddenly, (suddenly).

Yesterday was sun. Yesterday was bright.
Today is dark just eternal night.
Eternal (wait) no sleep no rest.
A lump in my throat. A pain in my chest.
I wanna run away. I wanna hide away.
Can't fade to black so just fade away.
I wanna run away. I wanna hide away.
Can't fade to black so just fade away.

Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
