Say Goodbye To Yesterday
Say goodbye to yesterday
Feelings tortured, waterboarded...
by my fractured mind
Emotions keep good thoughts...
held bound.
I keep suffering in silence...
No one ever knows
Please tell me what to do
to survive.
bridge
What has happened to me
Am I crazy like they say?
Even in the bright light, I am blind.
Chorus
Just say goodbye to yesterday
Cast away all of your fears
'cause today's your day to shine
Just say goodbye to yesterday
don't keep drowning in your tears
You too, like others, can learn to fly
Mental games I keep on playing
with myself everyday
Sad memories replay from years gone by
Why can't I just forgive myself,
and take control of my thoughts?
time heals , they say, so why do I still cry?
bridge
What has happened to me?
Maybe I'm crazy like they say
Why can't the light, penetrate
my darkened mind?
Chorus
Just say goodbye to yesterday
Cast away all of your fears
'cause today's your day to shine
Just say goodbye to yesterday
don't keep drowning in your tears
You too, like others, can learn to fly
Happiness hides in the shadows
of recesses in my mind...
Help me to illuminate my life
Negativity relinquishes
it's hold on a troubled soul...
Let go of the past and you'll be fine
Chorus
Just say goodbye to yesterday
Cast away all of your fears
'cause today's your day to shine
Just say goodbye to yesterday
don't keep drowning in your tears
You too, like others, can learn to fly
Chorus repeat two times
fade to zero
