Yesterday
Shanice Lyrics

I know, I shouldn't walk out this way
I understand that it may be wrong to leave suddenly

Sorry, but my feelings have changed
I apologize, but my emotions have shifted

I would only hurt you more if I stayed
If I remained, I could hurt you more

So I can't go on pretending that I feel like I did yesterday
I cannot keep pretending to have the same feelings as before

I can't stay and keep living this lie
I cannot continue to live a deception by staying

I finally found the strength to say goodbye
I finally found the courage to say farewell

I'm on my way, nothing can change my mind
I am leaving and nothing can alter my resolve

I'm leaving behind what we had...yesterday
I am abandoning what we had in the past

Know this, it's not about somebody else, it's not you
Please understand it is not about another person, it is not about you

I just need time to myself
I simply require time alone

Though it hurts me to see you go through this pain
Although it pains me to see you suffer

Still I can't go on believing that I feel like I did yesterday..so
However, I cannot continue to think that I hold the same sentiments as before

Throughout this time, I've realized, been holding this in for too long
During this period, I have acknowledged that I held this in for too extended a time

Now I have to stay strong..can't turn back
Now, I must remain courageous and cannot revert

I've been here for you, but now I must do what I should have.....yesterday
I have been supportive of you but now, I must do what I should have done earlier
