Yesterday
Marvelous Lyrics

I guess I met the devil
I realize now that you were not good for me, but at the time I didn't see it.

But I sure didn't know no better
I was naive and didn't see the warning signs of your true nature.

You were cool as hell like e-mail
You had a modern and trendy persona, everyone wanted to be like you.

But still timeless like a letter
You had a classic and enduring quality that drew people in.

As I sit and I stare at the satanic glare
When I look at you, I see something evil and menacing.

On the glass frame in front of your face
I see your image reflected in the glass frame, and it only emphasizes your negative qualities.

You're alone on my shelf
You are no longer a part of my life, but I can't quite let go yet.

Yelling, "look at yourself"
Your presence still haunts me even though you are gone.

I feel like Bobby Brady breaking the vase
I feel guilty and ashamed for letting things come to this point.

But now you're all screwed up
I realize that you are the one who messed up, not me.

You're so yesterday
You are no longer relevant in my life, and I am moving on.

Miles away
I am finally free from the negative influence you had on me, both physically and mentally.

Promised myself on New Year's Day
I made a resolution to cut you out of my life and move forward without you.

I'd take a bath today
I am cleansing myself of the pain and hurt you caused me.

And wash you away
I am getting rid of everything that reminds me of you, including my memories of you.

As all of your little blond hairs go down the drain
I am washing away your physical presence, symbolized by your hair going down the drain.

Your sister called me yesterday
Your family is still trying to keep tabs on me even though we are no longer together.

To tell me that I was a loser
Your sister is trying to make me feel bad, but I know that I am better off without you.

At least I haven't lost my mind
Unlike you, I am mentally stable and able to move on from this toxic relationship.

And at least I'm not a boozer
I am not using alcohol or any other vices to cope with the pain you caused me.

As I tried to heed to your wants and your needs
I did everything I could to please you, but it was never enough.

You were solemnly lost in space
You were so wrapped up in yourself that you couldn't see how much I was trying to help you.

So keep reading your books on "How To Give Dirty Looks"
You are still stuck in your negative mindset, and refuse to see the good in anything.

Every time I should be put in my place
You always tried to assert your dominance over me, but now I am free from your control.

I guess I met the devil
As I look back on our relationship, I can see that you were a destructive force in my life.

But I sure didn't know no better
At the time, I didn't think anything was wrong with our relationship, but now I see the truth.

You were cool as hell like e-mail
You had a charm and appeal that drew me in, but it was only surface level.

But still timeless like a letter
Even though our relationship wasn't meant to last, the lessons I learned from it will stay with me forever.

You're so yesterday
You are stuck in the past, while I am moving on with my life.

Miles away
I have finally put distance between us, both physically and emotionally.

Promised myself on New Year's Day
I made a resolution to never let someone toxic like you back into my life.

I'd take a bath today
I am washing away the pain and hurt that you caused me.

And wash you away
I am getting rid of everything that reminds me of you, so that I can move forward without any baggage.

As all of your little blond hairs go down the drain
Symbolically, I am washing away everything that you represented, including your superficial appearance.
