Wishful Thinking
You vs Yesterday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah my mind keeps playing tricks on me
Cause I (?) I held my breath yeah I couldn't breathe
And you just sat there
You just sat there
You just sat there
As these days go by this silence it's deafening
I was hoping that you'd find your way back to me
directions and distance yourself from many thing
That resembles how our heartbeats mix in synch
I'll be you never faced that you loved to hating we break our love
and things I'd break still breathing
from my god aches in on all the shakes
(?) Was it always a dream or did you ever really care about me
Keeping your bed for while your sort out everything
Cutting a headstorm I can't feel a thing
Left my mark on your world and your sheets and
I hope with every kiss you, steal you think of me
I let my (?) on your heart everytime that it beats
you'll be reminded that you're honorable to feel the pain

As I turn out all the lights you're all I see
Even in complete darkness, you are the only thing I can think of
Yeah my mind keeps playing tricks on me
My thoughts are deceiving me and I can't trust them
Cause I (?) I held my breath yeah I couldn't breathe
I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even breathe
And you just sat there
You were present but not really there for me
As these days go by this silence it's deafening
The lack of communication between us is unbearable
I was hoping that you'd find your way back to me
I was optimistic that we could reconcile and be together again
Instead you'll chase love in all directions and distance yourself from many things
You are searching for love everywhere and pushing away things that remind you of us
That resembles how our heartbeats mix in synch
Memories of our moments of closeness still resonate with me
I'll be you never faced that you loved to hating we break our love
Perhaps you never realized that we went from loving each other to hating each other and destroyed our relationship
and things I'd break still breathing from my god aches in on all the shakes
The pain and regret of my actions still haunt me
(?) Was it always a dream or did you ever really care about me
I wonder if our relationship was ever real, or if you ever truly cared about me
Keeping your bed for while your sort out everything
You want to be alone to figure things out and are not ready to move on
Cutting a headstorm I can't feel a thing
I am emotionally numb and can't process my thoughts and feelings
Left my mark on your world and your sheets and
I left an impact on your life and in our intimate moments
I hope with every kiss you, steal you think of me
I wish that whenever you are intimate with someone else, you will remember me
I let my (?) on your heart every time that it beats
My love and memory are imprinted on your heart and will never fade away
you'll be reminded that you're honorable to feel the pain
The pain is a reminder that we both took risks and were brave enough to love each other, even if it didn't end well
