Chance meeting at the old café
You heard she’d found someone
Now you’re standing next to Mr. Right
Fumbling for your words

Feelings you try hard to hide
Secret longings inside
Yearning deep in your eyes
Covered up beneath a smile

Yesterday is over
Yesterday has passed
There’s no going back now
Oh no, you can’t do that
Say goodbye to the old times
Farewell to what you’ve known
Don’t look over your shoulder
To what’s already gone
Let those memories fade
That was yesterday
That was yesterday

When he touches her it burns your soul
You act like you don’t care
You thought that you had both moved on
But you know that something is there

Believing you need her
That you’d never leave her
Why does the grass seem greener
When it belongs to someone else?

CHORUS: REPEAT

You’re holding on
Holding on to an empty dream
Let it go
No, you can’t rewrite history
You wouldn’t want to go back
You wouldn’t want to do that

CHORUS: REPEAT
