Yesterday Lyrics - The Glass Child

I'm mostly quiet now, that you are gone and I 

am back to walking by the river lonely every night 

We used to burn so bright, but you gave up the fight 

You reflect the sky, the sweetest rain in your eyes 

there's nothing left I need as long as you are by my side 

Can I stay one more night? 

I'll try to touch you right 

Oh how we lived in a world of our own 

with your hands and our words and the sparks in your room 

you read the sky at night like a map of my wounds 

You awakened me slowly I opened for you but 

You've had enough of me 

and all my misery 

I'm back to running with the haunted 'cause they won't leave me alone 

Maybe I should smile I had you for a while 

But everyone I know is leaving seems like no one will arrive 

And now the blankness that broods in my mind 

I am willing to die to remain by your side 

Close your eyes don't let your feet touch the ground 

And the stars in the sky to remember us by 

I touch my skin where your hands used to live, 

I still feel the echo of your fingerprints, 

You know my past and my scars all my secrets and wounds 

You wakened me slowly, I opened for you 

You've had enough of me 

and all my misery 

I'm back to running with the haunted 'cause they won't leave me alone 

Maybe I should smile I had you for a while 

But everyone I know is leaving seems like no one will arrive 

I'm staying up all night chasing butterflies 

I will forever be the girl who tried to jump but couldn't fly 

I volunteer for sacrifice 

And I know I'm hard to love but God I hope you know I tried 

Another day 

I sleep in pain 

'cause these regrets won't to go away 

A brand new day, how can I find my great escape? 

Another day 

I sleep in pain 

'cause I still hear the words you said 

if you don't feel the same 

I'll stay in yesterday
