Don't Turn Away (From Yesterday)

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
