This Is Yesterday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
[Chorus]
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
[Verse 2]
Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and garden as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything
[Chorus]
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
[Guitar Solo]
Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
[Chorus]
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
[Verse 2]
Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and garden as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything
[Chorus]
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
[Guitar Solo]
