David Archuleta_Waiting For Yesterday


You and me, all alone girl
What's going on?
Will you tell me what's wrong?
It's like you're locked up
In your own world.
Oh, with nothing to say.

You keep me guessing,
But I see in your eyes.
He made you promises,
But gave you lies.
You're shutting down
Because you're so sure,
That I'll be another mistake.

REFF:
I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won't be that way.
I'm not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing's gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

Is it worth it any longer?
So scared of falling again.
Yesterday can make it stronger.
But why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better
Than he ever did.
And this could be, all you ever needed.
Hold onto me and just remember.
Oh, no. Never let go!

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won't be that way.
I'm not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing's gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

I'm the one for you tonight.
I'm the one for you forever.
If it takes a little time,
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.
I'm the one for you tonight,
I'm the one for you forever.
If it takes a little time.
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won't be that way.
I'm not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing's gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won't be that way.
I'm not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing's gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.
