Yesterday
Ashley Roberts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I’m a broken heart
In the middle of the boulevard
In a house on fire
Dancing in the dark

Seen it your way
Love be afraid
And I’m fighting the future
While I’m tracking the inner peace

Have no one to believe in
I can’t stop this bleeding
I’m falling down
And I know I would beat this
If I didn’t need it
Where are you now

‘Cause I’m still late, late
It’s too late, it’s too late
I’m still late, late
It’s too late, it’s too late

And I’m a wild card
Trying to be the queen of hearts
And I wish on a spotlight
And pretend it is a star

Start to break it down
When I crawl beneath the ground
Like a wounded soldier
With nobody left around

No one to believe in
I can’t stop this bleeding
I’m falling down
And I know I would beat this
If I didn’t need it
Where are you now

‘Cause I’m still late, late
It’s too late, it’s too late




I’m still late, late
It’s too late, it’s too late

Line by Line Meaning

And I’m a broken heart
I am hurting emotionally


In the middle of the boulevard
My pain is on display for all to see


In a house on fire
My situation is urgent and chaotic


Dancing in the dark
I am struggling to find my way through this pain


Seen it your way
I have tried to see things from another's perspective


Love be afraid
Love can be a scary thing


And I’m fighting the future
I am struggling to come to terms with what is to come


While I’m tracking the inner peace
I am searching for a sense of calm within myself


Have no one to believe in
I feel alone and unsupported


I can’t stop this bleeding
My emotional pain feels like a physical wound that won't heal


I’m falling down
I feel like I am losing control and spiraling downward


And I know I would beat this
I believe I could overcome this pain


If I didn’t need it
If only I could let go of this pain


Where are you now
I am searching for someone to support me through this pain


‘Cause I’m still late, late
I am struggling to catch up and move on from this pain


It’s too late, it’s too late
I feel like it's too late to change things


And I’m a wild card
I am unpredictable and uncertain


Trying to be the queen of hearts
I am striving for power and control over my life


And I wish on a spotlight
I hope for attention, recognition, and validation


And pretend it is a star
I try to make small signs of hope into something more meaningful


Start to break it down
I begin to fall apart


When I crawl beneath the ground
I feel like I am hiding from the world


Like a wounded soldier
I feel like I am fighting a battle with my own emotions


With nobody left around
I feel abandoned and alone in my pain

I don't get why this has that many dislikes. The song isn't bad and she's cute. People can be pathetic. Go on and do your thing, lady ;)

It’s Nicole crazy fan base

Jayce The Songbyrd

I Loved her voice ever since the solo song called Played

She's so pretty and has an amazing voice. Seriously, you guys do not get it. Every girl member in PCD are talented in their own ways. It just happens so that Nicole got to be on the front. It is sad that we didn't get a chance to hear the other girls sing as much in PCD. Maybe Melody a little bit but the other girls barely got a solo part. They're all so good. Nicole is not the "bad guy" here but I wish that she stood up for them to get their own talent shown too so maybe they wouldn't have split up so soon. Good potential band though.

If she gets a really good song written for her and features with some artists that are also really talented she could be amazing! :)
