Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a part of me that's dying every time I hear your name There's a part of me that's trying to bring back your love again There are times when I just want to run, but there's no place to hide Even though mu heart is breaking in a million bits inside I can make believe that none of this is true But I can't forget you, can't break free I only have myself to blame, nothing feels the same without you Can't you see, we can find tomorrow what we lost yesterday What we lost yesterday There are nights when I lay wide awake thinking of how good it could be Other nights I don't feel worthy of the love you gave to me I remember not too long ago we both were here to stay But it seems it happened overnight when I threw it all away I can walk away and find somebody new But I can't forget you, can't break free I only have myself to blame, nothing feels the same without you Can't you see, we can find tomorrow what we lost yesterday What we lost yesterday Hope that I can make you love me once again but I can't forget you But I can't forget you, can't break free I only have myself to blame, nothing feels the same without you Can't you see, we can find tomorrow what we lost yesterday What we lost yesterday
