Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead Yesterday is a promise that you've broken Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes, This is your life And today is all you've got now And today is all you'll ever have Don't close your eyes. This is your life, are you who you want to be This is your life, are you who you want to be This is your life, is it everything you've dreamed That it would be when the world was younger, And you had everything to lose? Yesterday is a kid in the corner Yesterday is dead and over This is your life, are you who you want to be This is your life, are you who you want to be
