As I was Yesterday

Now these could have been the best years of my life 
But instead I wasted them in front of stars asking why 
I only listened when my heart began to break 
And only then did something start to change 
Now I'm not the same as I was yesterday 

All the lovers watch the world go by in bliss 
And all I longed for was just a single kiss 
I wasn't sure how much more I could take
The love was slowly being turned to hate 
Now I'm not the same as I was yesterday 

In the glow of the fires I set to burn my thoughts away 
I pondered all the choices I have made 
What does it take for a single man to change his ways 
All the lessons I've been taught slowly entered in my brain 
Now I'm not the same as I was yesterday
