Past Yesterday Lyrics
[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
Her mom and daddy trusted
That neighbor she grew up with
They were working days and nights
So he took her home from school sometimes
One day, when she came home
It looked like she saw a ghost
She snuck up to her room to cry
With a lifelong scar to hide
[Interlude: Jelly Roll]
Yeah, life is unfair
It’s unfair
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
Young enough for princess posters
Suddenly, she’s lifetimes older
He stole the innocence from her
Before she knew the meaning of the word
Hours in the shower steam
Still never felt clean
As she curls into a ball
Some things you can’t wash off
[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
[Bridge: Jelly Roll]
A few paths in life she could take
But not one of them I could blame
Finding every way to numb
Finding ways to overcome
I pray that God will right that wrong
And she’ll find a way to carry on
‘Cause you ain’t the hell that you’ve been through
You’re more than what’s been done to you
[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
[Post-Chorus: Jelly Roll, Jelly Roll & Skylar Grey]
In those corners, you’ll find
That you’re broken and scared
There’s no one by your side
Still all your angels are there
At your lowest of lows
When life’s been cruel and unfair
I just hope that you know
All your angels are there
Yeah
[Outro: Skylar Grey]
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
