Too Many of My Yesterdays Lyrics[Verse 1]
So many years ago, I thought you were the one –
Who knows when people change, surrender into strangeness
Adrift upon their lives, encompassed by the past?
Who knows which one becomes the last goodbye?
Don't try to tell me nothing dies
Don't try to tell me nothing's changed
Don't try to tell me nothing's new
Too Many of My Yesterdays belong to you

[Chorus 1]
Tell me about it, talk to me –
I hear it coming, I feel it coming
The way you want this thing to be
You're only trading on our memories
Don't go and say you still love me
[Verse 2]
I shelved my broken heart, I put you from my mind
I got up from my knees, I picked up all my pieces
But seeing you again puts shakes into my soul
Just when I think I'm finally over you
Don't come and show me that's not true

[Chorus 2]
Oh, tell me about it, have your way;
I see it coming, I hear it coming
I know what you're about to say
You've had Too Many of My Yesterdays
And I don't want to fall again

[Verse 3]
You're trading on my memories
You're trading in a rosy past;
You know I'm lost on stormy seas...
But I still stand before the mast
Beneath the stars and under sail
Towards horizons out of true...
Behind the dance of seven veils I still see you...

[Chorus 2]
Oh, tell me about it, have your way;
I see it coming, I hear it coming
I know what you're about to say
You've had Too Many of My Yesterdays
And I don't want to fall again
[Outro]
Don't try to tell me nothing's changed
Don't try to tell me nothing's new
Too Many of My Yesterdays are lost in you
