I was standing at the edge Looking down at myself as a child ♪ And he looked back at me Crying tears of defeat from his eyes
He said, "I know all the lies That you hide behind every fake smile ♪ Am I gonna be lonely like you for-" All my life I've been living in yesterday ♪ All my life A dollar short, and a day too late ♪ I was standing at the edge Looking down at the drink in my hand
And it looked back at me, saying "How in the hell have you been?"
I've been drier than dirt Dragging all of my thoughts Through the quicksand ♪ Now I'm quenching my thirst And I'm running like All my life I've been living in yesterday
All my life A dollar short and a day too late All my life ♪ Heaven can take me But no one can save me from hell again ♪ You'll never erase me I'm back on the road again All my life I've been living in yesterday All my life A dollar short, and a day too late
