I've tripped and I've stumbled through all of my life Surrounded by promises I broke every time There's no way I'm allowing my stupid mistakes To stick around until I bend and break
Because yesterday can harbour my history, while tomorrow it shelters my dreams And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me And I know I don't look like a movie star but I've played every prominent part In fading bright eyes so very dark
Love can deadly in the wrong kind of hands From Sunset to Main Street you consumed the man I am But the lines on my face are where the smiles have been From memories locked inside of me
Because yesterday can harbour my history, while tomorrow it shelters my dreams And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me And I know I don't look like a movie star but I've played every prominent part In fading bright eyes so very dark In fading her bright eyes so very dark This is all I can say
Everyone knows that we stand in the past Too afraid to speak up and say Please spare me a lifetime of old photographs A thousand words spoke without weight If the years of frustration distort what you see It's harder and harder to leave It will never be too late to be what you could have been Don't spend your day feeling sorry, don't be sorry Yesterday is nothing but history, and tomorrow it will shelter our dreams
