    Hey guys! This is a song I have just written, let me know what you think!


    YESTERDAY


    A tear falls from my eye
    A lonely raindrop from the sky
    Your eyes burning embers of a flame
    In the dark I called your name
    How can I fully express?
    How I wish to fix this mess

    Yesterday, in your eyes I’d stare
    And run my fingers through your hair
    I’d feel your heart beat as we lay
    But, that was yesterday

    When I first saw your face
    You made my heart quicken pace
    I looked at you, you looked at me
    I went weak at the knees
    I took your hand, to you I said
    “I choose my heart over my head”

    You were the light to guide my way
    The moon at night, sun in the day
    Every day was like a dream
    Fish swimming in the stream,
    Birds flying through the air,
    In your eyes, a loving stare

    Yesterday, in your eyes I’d stare
    And run my fingers through your hair
    I’d feel your heart beat as we lay
    But, that was yesterday

    What a price I was to pay,
    When, on my cold and darkest day
    You looked at me with vacant eyes
    And took your hand away from mines
    It ended there, no words to say
    Yesterday became today.

    I can’t bear to see you now
    Your hand in his, I question how
    Your love for him is to plain to see
    Our love a distant memory
    Why can’t things ever be
    like they once were in our dreams?

    Yesterday, in your eyes I’d stare
    And run my fingers through your hair
    I’d feel your heart beat as we lay
    But, that was yesterday
    Yesterday, in your eyes I’d stare
    And run my fingers through your hair
    I’d feel your heart beat as we lay
    But, that was yesterday

    Thanks

    Very well put together. Like said above, a couple of cliche lines, so perhaps try to word what you want a bit differently. Also, the first verse can be a bit contradicting ( or perhaps I misinterpreted it) anyway, the bit about the tears and then the embers is a bit opposite. Other than that, I like this a lot. Keep up the good work!
