Say it Yesterday

Echoes resounded yet I needed more space

Now I keep racking my brain

For the different things I could have said

An enigma of feelings

The residue of my lonesome ways

A cancer that metastasizes day by day

Poisoning me from the inside out

What needs to be said

Say it yesterday

I need surgery

I pray for a remedy

She’s not the enemy

I am my own adversary

That’s my only clarity

Is he the shadow that follows me

The truth that’s so hard to see

My agonizing regret fee

What solace would there be

For this unrequited love

Such a tragic love

A silence that screams nostalgia

Remorse for turning the other way

I regret blinding myself

But most of all

I regret being afraid

And not taking the risk anyway

Never allow the ghosts of your past

To wreak themselves on the light in your future

What needs to be said

Say it yesterday

I need surgery

I pray for a remedy

She’s not the enemy

I am my own adversary

That’s my only clarity

Is he the shadow that follows me

The truth that’s so hard to see

My agonizing regret fee

What solace would there be

For this unrequited love

Such a tragic love

What needs to be said

Say it yesterday
