[Verse 1]
Long is the day, take it away
Hold it up and you don't let it fall
'Cause devil's play was yesterday
And I don't care about that at all

[Verse 2]
I just smile once in a while
'Cause I don't want the lines on my face
And I sit right here, holding the years
And I count all the stars in space

[Chorus 1]
You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand

[Verse 3]
Self-respect goes unexpressed
I don't dream 'cause I cannot sleep
And I think the world of myself
But the world doesn't think much of me

[Verse 4]
As long as the day
Is full of time
There will always be room
For your hand in mine
[Chorus 2]
You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand
I don't wanna hear you say
That you miss yesterday
If you don't like what you see
That means nothing to me

[Verse 5]
No one's home, I'm alone
With my music and my defeat
And I still say that yesterday
Is best when left to sleep

[Chorus 2]
You fall apart again
And you can find a friend
Don't turn to someone else
'Cause they won't understand
I don't wanna hear you say
That you miss yesterday
If you don't like what you see
That means nothing to me
