Stuck On Yesterday

No big surprise - I ain’t gonna lie
I'm still fightin' back your goodbye
Up late again - drink in my hand
Convincin' myself we're not just friends
 
Makin’ the best of the situation 
Tippy toe'n through this tribulation
Tryin’ not trip up on the truth
But what the whole thing comes down to..is. 

I'm stuck on yesterday - no I’m not ok
I'm caught up in the used to be's - the should've beens won't let me breathe
I want it back again - the way it was back when
I know you moved on - but baby I just wanna stay
Stuck on yesterday

I know it's best to just let go
But my heart keeps on holdin' on
When you had the best - then all the rest
Are just chasin' your footsteps

I'm stuck on yesterday - no I’m not ok
I'm caught up in the used to be's - the should've beens won't let me breathe
I want it back again - the way it was back when
I know you moved on - but baby I just wanna stay
Stuck on yesterday

Whoever said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Never had to look into your eyes and feel this kinda fall 

I'm stuck on yesterday - no I’m not ok
I'm caught up in the used to be's - the should've beens won't let me breathe
I want it back again - the way it was back when
I know you moved on - but baby I just wanna stay
I know you moved on - but baby I just wanna stay

Stuck on yesterday
