Yesterday Was a Lie Lyrics
And you don't know it
What hides inside me
If nothings so different
Don't close the door
I'm not asking for more
Oh god I'd give my life for you
For just one second that was true
Keep me feeling so brand new
You know why yesterday was a lie
And even when you're sad
I walk away
And even when you're happy
I stay
Did I sale my soul for this feeling
So long ago
Did I give my heart for that waste
At the time
I'm not asking for much
Don't hid me
Then you wonder why my heart
Did I sell my soul for that feeling
You know why yesterday was a lie
I can't keep thinkin' I was right
Don't go
What hides inside me
If nothings so different
Don't close the door
I'm not asking for more
For just one second that was true
Keep me feeling so brand new
I walk away
And even when you're happy
I stay
So long ago
At the time
Don't hid me
Then you wonder why my heart
I can't keep thinkin' I was right

Did I sell my soul for this feeling (sele) So long ago
Did I give my heart for that waste Of time (At the time)
I'm not asking for much Don't hide me (hid) Then you wonder why my heart
Long ago, I would have said that this song corresponded with my life during years of an abusive relationship. If you continue to listen to noise that rambles on afterwards, sirens and keyboard clacking, beeping and electronic tickings, that's what it was like when the magic of loving someone begins to fade away. In our modern age, technology is used throughout the dating scene; texting, skyping, face timing, emailing, and everything in between. The coldness that follows, the distancing, and that breaking away. Things becoming routine, machine-like. Yet, this lovely, humanistic, painstakingly bare voice is begging for that one to stay, for the love to remain the same, and yet it won't. Did she sell her soul for that moment? Perhaps. Did I sell my soul for that moment in time, to be loved as I believe I could be? Yes.
But I stole it right back.
Can't believe it's taken me so long to discover this song, but it just doesn't pertain anymore. Still going to love it by singing it when the moon begins to wane.
I agree with you, it does sound like somebody who suffered for their love, and perhaps the feeling that remains for a long time after. It's hard when you realize somebody doesn't love you in the same way you love them. Very touched by the song, and Angela McCluskey's amazing voice.
