Yesterday
I know the feeling well,
You’re driving when your chest starts to pound
What if she finds out,
What if I tell her?
You know I won’t say anything,
But that doesn't make you feel any better,
Guilt hurts
When you’re still together.
So you call me,
I’m the last person you should talk to
But I’m the only one you can talk to
Cause I’m the only one who knows.
Yeah and I’ve been there,
I know how it goes,
It haunts you,
I don’t blame you
for needing me right now.
Even though you’re afraid to even say my name out loud.
I didnt expect it,
Monday night
I'm by myself
you ask if I’m alright.
I’ll be honest I’m happy you called
It doesn’t sit right
being the one left alone,
But I know better,
So I listen and try to make you feel better.
Karma's here to collect,
but atleast I can talk from the heart
about the nights I never slept,
When I was you
and she was him
and he was there
for the calls that you're giving to me,
like I did then.
I say I’m sorry,
I should have pulled back,
I knew you had someone,
I should've said that.
I didn’t walk into that bar
With any expectations
Just a strong drink with a good friend
That took us to darker places
And I guess I knew,
The moment you said she was gone
Out of town
And you didn’t know when she was coming home,
Yeah I knew then,
And if I was stronger I would have said no,
but I’m selfish
am I’m intense
and I let it go,
cause I love suspence,
and I miss sex,
and I miss my ex
and you’re all good
as good as it gets.
Maybe that’s just who I am,
I’ve been in your shoes
with everything to lose
So, I know how you feel now,
you need someone to harbor the secret.
It eats you up in side
well don’t worry
I don’t take it personal,
I know you don’t mean it.
I’m just sad because I let you fuck it up.
Will we be ok?
Please say that we won’t change, please say I won’t lose you too?
I’ve lost too many people from all the mistakes I’ve made,
the love I had,
the love I lost
and the one that got away.
Please call me later.
And say you don’t think less of me, or any other way.
Yeah you’ve seen me naked
but it was lovely and you’re here to stay.
You’re here to stay.
Please don’t walk away,
Please love her,
Please stay with her
Love her.
But be my friend like you were yesterday.
