Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in the summer, when we were just kids
You were my sunshine, my heart, my first bid
We laughed under stars, then you slipped away
And I've wondered why, every single day
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm lost in yesterday
Fighting shadows that won't go away
Trying to break these chains and be free
But you're still a part of me
[Verse 2]
A photo today pulled me right back
To laughter and dreams, we never got back
You were the song I could never replace
Still haunting my heart, still holding space
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm lost in yesterday
Fighting shadows that won't go away
Trying to break these chains and be free
But you're still a part of me
[Bridge Up and louder]
I've tried to move on, I've tried to let go
But love like ours still won't lie low
Maybe it's time to stop looking behind
And give someone else a chance to find
[Verse 3]
I sing to the past to break the spell
To forgive myself, to wish you well
One day I'll wake with a heart that's clear
And the courage to stop holding you near
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm lost in yesterday
But I won't let it lead me astray
There's hope ahead, and I will believe
That love can come back to me
[Outro]
So here's to you and the love we knew
I'll carry it on, but start anew
And under the stars, if I dream your name
I'll still move forward, never the same
