Lonely summer needing rain, standing quietly going insane
   Said, "I love you", you never heard a word
   Memories that still cause pain, I lost the feeling I can't explain
   Still I need you, don't that seem absurd?
   Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
   Making it so hard to start all over again
  
   Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams
   Here they are coming again, Yeah
  
   Fading pictures in my mind, another place, another time
   It's the same old song, just another melody
   Don't ask me 'cause I don't want to say
   He's the reason that keeps me away
   I won't go through it again, but you don't even see what I mean
   Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
   Making it so hard to start all over again
  
   Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams
   Here they are coming again
  
   I don't want to lie awake with you at night and wonder why
   Looking at your hurting eyes and asking me if it's all a lie
   Perfect pattern of part-time love
   Always aware we're gonna make it above
   What I lost before taking us both nowhere
  
   What you're askin' I can't give, pick up the pieces that'll let you live
   And don't ever look back 'cause I won't even be there
   Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
   Making it so hard to start all over again
  
   Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
   Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
   Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
