"Yesterday" by Sarah Jones (original song)

Hey guys! Happy 2012 :) This is a song I wrote a while ago... I came up with the chord progression first and then the words just kinda flowed out of my mouth while I played. Hope you like it!!

LYRICS:

Yesterday is just a way to forget about you
And everything you do
But yesterday I just stayed in a daydream of you
'Cause I had nothing else to do
Yesterday I watched it rain 'til my whole world turned blue
And then I thought of you
And how you came and I gave my whole heart to you
Then you left me without a clue
As to why you're gone
Why are you gone?

I see your face in my mind every day
Though I know you're no good
I feel the rain wash the pain down the drain
And I know you're gone for good
You won't come back, you don't want me back

Yesterday was my way to forget about you
I thought I'd put you in the past
And live these days for today and forget yesterday
But the strength I found won't last
Yesterday I escaped to happy memories of you
Then I ran into the truth
So yesterday I watched it rain 'til my whole world turned blue
I drowned in memories of you
'Cause you're gone
Why are you gone?

I see your face in my mind every day
Though I know you're no good
I feel the rain wash the pain down the drain
And I know you're gone for good
You won't come back, you don't want me back

It was so easy for you to leave me
You left without turning back
Though you're out of sight, you're still in my mind
I wish I could change that

Yesterday was a waste of my life and I knew
I had no room in my mind for you
So today I will change and stop watching it rain, it rain

I saw your face in my mind yesterday
Now I'm sure you're no good
I felt the rain wash the pain down the drain
And now I am gone for good
You won't come back, well I don't want you back

yu are an amazing song writer, i wish i could write songs like this but i can never finish one ....any advice?

[SarahJonesMusic]

@Kendyx23 Thank you! I would just write about how you feel. If you feel strongly about something (good or bad) just write down everything you feel. It doesn't have to rhyme, just write down lots of thoughts and ideas. Then once you get going, piece together the ideas and turn it into lyrics... turn the lyrics into a melody... and if you play an instrument, add that in too! I would just start with how you feel because it's easier to write about something you know. I hope this helps :)
