I played the ones you know
I took you all the way
That was yesterday
I wore your favorite clothes
I said the things you'd say
That was yesterday
So if you loved me so much
Why'd you go?
Keep yourself back
Keep on lying, oh
I could only be what I am
Diving, smiling
Life is not the same
If we're miles away
I was your champion
I did everything your way
We both swim in too deep
You lost me willingly
But that was yesterday
(That was yesterday)
You knew it would get dark
You made sure I would need you
In every way
So if you loved me so much
Why'd you go?
Keep yourself back
Keep on lying, oh
I could only be what I am
Diving, smiling
Life is not the same
If we're miles away
I was your champion
I did everything your way
Life is not the same
If we're miles away
I was your champion
I did everything to help you stay
