You  and me, all alone  girl
What’s  going on? Won’t you tell  me what’s  wrong?
It’s  like you’re locked up in your  own world
Oh,  with nothin’  to say
You  keep me guessing, but it’s  in your eyes
He  made you promises, but gave  you lies
You’re  shutting down because you’re  so sure
That  I’ll be another  mistake
I  know that he left  you in pieces
You  know that I won’t be  that way
 I’m not gonna treat  you like he did
Oh,  whatever  it takes
You  think history  is repeated
You  keep on pushing me  away
 Oh, but nothing’s  gonna  change
Waiting  for yesterday  ay ay
Day  ay ay
Day  ay ay
Is  it worth it any longer?
So  scared of falling  again
But  yesterday can make it stronger
So  why do you feel  alone?
You  know I love you better  than he ever  did
And  this could be,  all you ever needed
Hold  onto me and just remember
Oh,  no, never  let go
I  know that he left  you in pieces
You  know that I won’t be  that way
 I’m not gonna treat  you like he did
Oh,  whatever  it takes
You  think history  is repeated
You  keep on pushing me  away
 Oh, but nothing’s  gonna  change
Waiting  for yesterday  ay ay
I’m  the one  for you  tonight
 I’m the one  for you  forever
 If it takes  a little time,
 (Whatever it takes, whatever  it takes)
I’m  the one  for you  tonight,
 I’m the one  for you  forever
 If it takes  a little time
 Whatever it takes, whatever  it takes)
I  know that he left  you in pieces
You  know that I won’t be  that way
 I’m not gonna treat  you like he did
Oh,  whatever  it takes
You  think history  is repeated
You  keep on pushing me  away
 Oh, but nothing’s  gonna  change
Waiting  for yesterday
I  know that he left  you in pieces
You  know that I won’t be  that way
 I’m not gonna treat  you like he did
Oh,  whatever  it takes
You  think history  is repeated
You  keep on pushing me  away
 Oh, but nothing’s  gonna  change
Waiting  for yesterday  ay ay
Day  ay ay
Day  ay ay
