(I Could Be) Happy Yesterday

Stiff Little Fingers · Story So Far [2007]

Just like the autumn

When leaves turn brown and fall upon the ground



That's how you left me



You just went cold and everything changed round

If I could have that time again



Would we still be friends

Or am I lying?



Chorus:



With everything I've said and done



And every race that I have run



When there is nothing more to say



I could be happy yesterday

With every lie that I've been told



And every dud that I've been sold



I would forget them anyway



I could be happy yesterday



Goodbye forever



You packed your bags and headed out the door



I'm being clever



Seeing if there's more points I can score



And though I'm sneering all the time



I'm dying inside



Do you remember?



(Chorus)



I could be happy



Oh, so happy



I could be happy



But it seems that I'm frustrating

All attempts at my elation



(Chorus: x 3)
