Testo Yesterday Scratched Vinyl Innocence
Yesterday, I took the long way home
Yesterday, I wanted to surprise you
So I stopped by the market and picked up some flowers
Iâll ask for no reward â a simple smile will do
I got home and saw all of the lights on
How was I to pull off this surprise?
The front door creaked open, and I saw you had cooked something to give the dog something else to place on his mind
I walked up the stairs and heard the TV on
Nothing in our room seemed out of line
But I saw the bathroom light on and opened the door
Damn you, girl â I saw that your surprise beat mine
All I could do was stare cause I was so unprepared
To see you alone like that
To know that youâd given up our hopes
Itâs worse than any heartbreak, worse than any dream
Itâs the worst to know you needed something, but decided to give up on me
Angling the steel was pretty hard
But nothing was as hard as losing you
So I led death to my hands and he emptied my veins
If you were off to hell then of course I was too
Iâd sworn to god that I would never leave you or want to see you alone like that
To know that youâd given up our hopes
Itâs worse than any heartbreak, worse than any dream
Itâs the worst to know you needed something but decided to give up on me
Iâd laid to rest and saw you falling fast into the cold, dark place youâd made up in your mind that manifested all the creatures in your dreams â I will never give up on you, even if you give up on me
I finally caught you and we floated up, and I felt how your soul was bruised
Lost in the flames, I heard your voice:
I thank you.
