Yesterday's Demise

I wake up in an empty bed
remnants of dreams flutter 'round in my head
wondering 'bout the hand I've been dealt
slowly forgetting what it was like to be held

I am trying to stay so strong
picking up the pieces of all that went wrong
starting over again
I'm not better yet, but I'll learn to pretend

I'll wipe the tears away
and dry my eyes
I'll build a brand new day
out of yesterday's demise
I'll build a brand new tomorrow
and separate the truth from the lies
I'll build a brand new tomorrow
out of yes-ter-day's demise

time moves much slower
when you're all alone
wounds are cut far deeper
clear to the bone
more solitude than I've ever known
Time moves so slowly
now that I'm alone (x2)

I'll wipe the tears away
and dry my eyes
I'll build a brand new day
out of yesterday's demise
I'll build a brand new tomorrow
and separate the truth from the lies
I'll build a brand new tomorrow
out of yes-ter-day's demise

I wake up to an empty room
lie there in bed 'till a quarter past noon
dwell on the past more than I want to admit
wishing like hell there was a way to forget

I don't quite have the hang of this
there's nothing to fight the loneliness
I'm just penning words as they come
so you'll know that you're the only one

I'll build a brand new tomorrow
I'll build a brand new tomorrow
I'm much stronger than I ever realized
I'll build a new tomorrow out of yesterday
out of yesterday's demise
yesterday's demise
