Well, i keep holding on to yesterday
I keep holding on enough to say that i'm wrong
I keep thinking that i'm lonely
But it's only missing you inside
Days when we were once together
Seems we'd never come alive
So i keep holding on to yesterday
I keep holding on enough to say that it's wrong
Lord i don't know when i'll see you
I can't reach you anymore
Well if i'd only known i'd need you
Then i'd keep you like before
Ooo ooo ooh
Ahh ahh ahh
Well i keep holding on to yesterday (yesterday)
I keep holding on enough to say
That i'm wrong wrong wrong to keep holding on
My yesterdays have all gone by...
