  • I write your name in my breath on the window
    Sit and watch as it fades away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday

    The sky is cold and gray
    Just like it was when we both went our separate ways
    And the rain won't wash away
    All the dirt of my mistakes

    So I write your name in my breath on the window
    Sit and watch as it fades away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday

    The deafening sound of rain
    It's not enough to drown my thoughts or ease the pain
    So instead I'll soak it in
    While I stare outside again

    And I write your name in my breath on the window
    Sit and watch as it fades away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday

    I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
    I lost so much when you walked away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday

    The sun just won't seem to come out
    Not since you walked away
    Now I cannot escape
    I cannot escape the rain
    The rain

    So I write your name in my breath on the window
    Sit and watch as it fades away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday
    I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
    I lost so much when you walked away
    The painful memories
    Of the tears of yesterday
    Yesterday
