“Yesterday’s Heartache (Hanging On)”

It crawls in bed beside me when I try to go to sleep
Still lying here each morning right where you used to be
I never knew the lonesome blues could haunt a girl so long
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on

You told me you were leaving and you won’t be coming back
I said, I didn’t need you so just go ahead and pack
Swore you’d never cross my mind but baby I was wrong
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on

If I could just live long enough I know the day will come
When the train of memories we’ve made is something I’ll outrun
I’ll break these chains of wanting you when it’s all said and done
But till the pain of loving you is gone
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on


By now I thought that I’d move on and let go of the past
But all I do is ask myself how longs’ this gonna last
Tomorrow I’ll forget you but today I’m not that strong
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on

If I could just live long enough I know the day will come
When the train of memories we’ve made is something I’ll outrun
I’ll break these chains of wanting you when it’s all said and done
But till the pain of loving you is gone
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on

I’ll break these chains of wanting you when it’s all said and done
But till the pain of loving you is gone
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on
I’ve got yesterday’s heartache hanging on
