We know it’s only a photograph But people like it more than life If the camera’s on, the words are right I’m hoping it’s just for tonight So I say Don’t turn away From yesterday
Everyone here thinks it’s wrong Another year is much too long Forgotten dreams and forgotten songs Won’t bring us back here once they’re gone So I say Don’t turn away From yesterday
No one hears the screams When they need someone to lean on To get them through the day
They just turn their backs on life And don’t even try to Hold on Just dip their shoulders Ask over and over Why am I alive
It may seem like you’re serving time Don’t let it get too cold inside We’ll all be here when the time is right For you to get on with your life So I say Don’t turn away From yesterday So I say Don’t turn away From yesterday
