Song Lyrics

yesterday another way things would work out they'd be ok
another time doing fine i always said it'd be all right
well i used to be ok
in the hands of yesterday
the darkness came in fast
the feeling wouldn't last

now i'm all alone i don't even know
what i'm living for what to call my home
is it all a dream or a deadly scheme
just a big mistake and i can't explain
what's happening to me

just today i walked away from everything how could this be
i can't believe i used to be somebody real i can't conceive
how i used to be ok
in the hands of yesterday
the darkness came in fast
the feeling wouldn't last

now i'm all alone i don't even know
what i'm living for what to call my home
is it all a dream or a deadly scheme
just a big mistake and i can't explain
what's happening to me

so i've tried to make sense of all the insanity
but i cannot see
realize all the complications of humanity
there's nothing more to be
and it ain't gonna be all right
so why put up a fight

well i used to be ok
in the hands of yesterday
the darkness came in fast
the feeling wouldn't last

now i'm all alone i don't even know
what i'm living for what to call my home
is it all a dream or a deadly scheme
just a big mistake and i can't explain
what's happening to me
