How Can Yesterday Cost Tomorrow and Today/Tomorrow and Today/Yesterday Cost Me Tomorrow and Today

I'm seeing life's twists and turns,
When reality, hardship and cruelty, 
Come into play,
But I just can't figure out,
How a painful yesterday,
Stepped into my life, 
That cost me tomorrow and today,
Because that tragic yesterday, 
Has destroyed today.

Chorus
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now that pain in my heart, 
Will never dim, disappear, fade or run away,
And tomorrow and today don't seem to care,
That the cost of a painful yesterday,
Is steering my life,
Straight into traps of fear,
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now my broken heart, 
Needs resuscitation just to beat every day,
Because yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now I can't trade my pain for a pleasant day.

Somewhere in life I took a wrong turn,
Into painful trauma and misery,
A circular loop of wrongs,
But I still can't understand,
How yesterday can cost me today,
And now I find a tangle of confusion, 
At every turn,
Because that painful yesterday, 
Has conquered today.

Chorus
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now that pain in my heart, 
Will never dim, disappear, fade or run away,
And tomorrow and today don't seem to care,
That the cost of a painful yesterday,
Is steering my life,
Straight into traps of fear,
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now my broken heart, 
Needs resuscitation just to beat every day,
Because yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now I can't trade my pain for a pleasant day.

So now I've got nowhere to go,
No home to live in or share,
And no directions to take me anywhere, (no loving arms full of tender care)
And though I still don't understand,
How yesterday can cost me tomorrow,
My heart is still fighting to beat, 
Wrapped up in so much sorrow,
Because that painful yesterday, 
Has swallowed up tomorrow.

Chorus
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now that pain in my heart, 
Will never dim, disappear, fade or run away,
And tomorrow and today don't seem to care,
That the cost of a painful yesterday,
Is steering my life,
Straight into traps of fear,
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now my broken heart, 
Needs resuscitation just to beat every day,
Because yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now I can't trade my pain for a pleasant day.

Sometimes I look up at the sky,
And wish that I could really fly,
Far away from the life in which I reside,
And though it makes no sense,
How yesterday cost me everything,
My heart is trembling in defeat,
As sadness decorates every street,
Because that painful yesterday, 
Is never going to depart or ever go away.

Chorus
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now that pain in my heart, 
Will never dim, disappear, fade or run away,
And tomorrow and today don't seem to care,
That the cost of a painful yesterday,
Is steering my life,
Straight into traps of fear,
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now my broken heart, 
Needs resuscitation just to beat every day,
Because yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
So now I can't trade my pain for a pleasant day.

Outro
Yesterday cost me tomorrow and today,
And so now life edges, 
Have begun to disintegrate and fray,
But I can't change any mistakes in history,
So now my heart has to live with,
A more painful tomorrow and today.
