The me that you used to know
I hope you forget about
Wondering where did he go
If you could just see me now
Hoping
That you see
That something
Inside of me's changed
(Everything's changed now)
Leaving
Behind me
The old me
And walking away
Oh cause that was so
Yesterday (yesterday)
But I've moved on
Now I finally have a heart
Finally have a heart
Of love where once was stone
And that was so
Yesterday (yesterday)
But not no more
No I'm never going back
Never going back
To who I was before
And that was so yesterday
That was so
That was so
That was so
Yesterday
That was so
That was so
That was so
Let me be the first to say
I keep messing up as I go
I keep getting in my own way
But the difference is now I know
There's something
Inside me
That loves me
No matter what
(No matter what)
What I do
And go through
Is not who
I am because
[1 - 22]
That was so
Yesterday (yesterday)
But I've moved on
Now I finally have a heart
Finally have a heart
Of love where once was stone
And that was so
Yesterday (yesterday)
But not no more
No I'm never going back
Never going back
To who I was before
And that was so yesterday (yesterday)
That was so
That was so
That was so
Yesterday
That was so
Never going back
No I'm never
Never going back
No no I'm never
Never going back
No I'm never
Never going back
That was so
Yesterday
But I've moved on
Now I finally have a heart
Finally have a heart
Of love where once was stone
That was so
Yesterday (yesterday)
But not no more
No I'm never going back
Never going back
To who I was before
And that was so yesterday
That was so
That was so
That was so
Yesterday
That was so
Never going back
No I'm never
Never going back
No no I'm never
Never going back
No I'm never
Never going back
That was so
