Know it's late and love has left me in this empty room Should I gaze into the coming storm? When I face the lies I need a drink to get me by And I taste the tears in your eyes When the dust finally settles it's just you and me On a journey to somewhere – I know we will find the way There were days we were living and feeling so free In our hearts there was meaning so how can it be? Can you tell me why the sun don't shine? Can you tell me why you left me blind? Will you give me back again what's mine? Cause I'll be waiting Can you tell me why you ran away? Were you looking for a better way? To confront the life that you've betrayed But that was yesterday – yesterday Should I close the door on all the things that seem so right? In my mind I shove them all away When the day is done I try to wash the hurt inside Cause it makes me feel some kind of happiness When the dust finally settles it's just you and me On a journey to somewhere – I know we will find the way There were days we were living and feeling so free In our hearts there was meaning so how can it be? Can you tell me why the sun don't shine? Can you tell me why you left me blind? Will you give me back again what's mine? Cause I'll be waiting Can you tell me why you ran away? Were you looking for a better way? To confront the life that you've betrayed But that was yesterday – and I'm still here waiting, oh: Oh, please tell me why Can you tell me why the sun don't shine? Can you tell me why you left me blind? Will you give me back again what's mine? Cause I'm still waiting for you Can you tell me why you ran away? Were you looking for a better way? To confront the life that you've betrayed But that was yesterday We were living, hearts were dreaming, there was meaning That was yesterday We were living, hearts were dreaming, there was meaning But that was yesterday That was yesterday
