Yesterday any way you made it was just fine, So you turned your days into night-time, Didn’t you know, you can’t make it without ever even trying? And something’s on your mind, isn’t it Let these times show you that you’re breaking up the lines, Leaving all your dreams too far behind, Didn’t you see, you can’t make it without ever even trying? And something’s on your mind. Maybe another day you’ll want to feel another way, you can’t stop crying, You haven’t got a thing to say, you feel you want to run away There’s no use trying, anyway. I’ve seen the writing on the wall, Who cannot maintain will always fall, Well, you know, you can’t make it without ever even trying. And something’s on your mind, isn’t it Tell the truth now, isn’t it And something’s on your mind, isn’t it
