Yesterday was simple

Even if it did not seem to be

Though last night I shuddered in my bed

Alone from sunset ‘til the moon did sleep

You didn’t want to chase me longer

And though I didn’t want to run

I didn’t realize hunting for Us

Would have been my greatest fun

I see the strangest, normal things

And think of you and I

And though you’re here, you are not near

I hurt you, yet I cry

I see you in my TV screen

And hear you in my songs

My paints are stained with memories

That will try to forget your presence all along

I want your hair, I want your eyes

I want your perfect laugh

I want to erase you from my life

This watermark you’ve left

This stranger in the street

Was yesterday my friend

And crying in my sheets last night

I had to watch it all end

August Ninth was kind to me

And August Tenth watched my numb heart bleed
