Lonely summer needing rain, standing quietly going insane
Said, "I love you", you never heard a word
Memories that still cause pain, I lost the feeling I can't explain
Still I need you, don't that seem absurd?
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again, yeah
Fading pictures in my mind, another place, another time
It's the same old song, just another melody
Don't ask me 'cause I don't want to say
He's the reason that keeps me away
I won't go through it again, but you don't even see what I mean
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again
I don't want to lie awake with you at night and wonder why
Looking at your hurting eyes and asking me if it's all a lie
Perfect pattern of part-time love
Always aware we're gonna make it above
What I lost before taking us both nowhere
What you're askin' I can't give, pick up the pieces that'll let you live
And don't ever look back 'cause I won't even be there
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Said, "I love you", you never heard a word
Memories that still cause pain, I lost the feeling I can't explain
Still I need you, don't that seem absurd?
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again, yeah
Fading pictures in my mind, another place, another time
It's the same old song, just another melody
Don't ask me 'cause I don't want to say
He's the reason that keeps me away
I won't go through it again, but you don't even see what I mean
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again
I don't want to lie awake with you at night and wonder why
Looking at your hurting eyes and asking me if it's all a lie
Perfect pattern of part-time love
Always aware we're gonna make it above
What I lost before taking us both nowhere
What you're askin' I can't give, pick up the pieces that'll let you live
And don't ever look back 'cause I won't even be there
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
