Flaten - Yesterday Lyrics

I found some songs I wrote many years ago
They bring back memories that I'm gonna have to destroy
At primary school I never cared bout being cool
All I ever wanted was to play
So me and my friends would play tag every break
Not a second would ever go to waste
By nature I was curious, calm, creative and kind
And all of the time I would carry the smile that could only be worn by a child
Yesterday, yesterday, why are you so far away?
Yesterday, yesterday, can you hold my hand again?
Can you hold my hand again?
I remember secondary school and all the bullies I faced
All of their hatred made me hate myself, but now I know they were also in pain
When shadows would start to occupy my heart, I'd go to this place I still know
A place for weirdos and misfits alike, both a sanctuary and a home
During summertime my friends and I would meet at the lake every day
Our hearts filled with sun, laughter and fun
Now summertimes ain't quite the same
Yesterday, yesterday, why are you so far away?
Yesterday, yesterday, can you hold my hand again?
Can you hold my hand again today?
It's weird to know it's all behind me now
The joy in my heart got lost somehow
And it's sad to say I've lived my brighter days
Now I'm searching for shadows to keep myself in place
It's weird to know it's all behind me now
That old smile of mine disappeared somehow
And it's sad to say I've lived my brighter days
Now I'm searching for shadows
Yesterday, yesterday, why are you so far away?
Yesterday, yesterday, can you hold my hand again?
Can you hold my hand again?
I found some songs I wrote many years ago
They bring back memories that I'm gonna have to destroy today
