    C                    D#
I write your name in my breath on the window
 C                   D#
Sit and watch as it fades away
     F          G#          A#
The painful memories of the tears of yesterday
C                    G#
The sky is gold and grey

      C               G#
Just like it was when we both went
our seperate ways
         F
And the rain won't wash away
         G#
All the dirt of my mistakes

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The deafening sound of rain
Its not enough to drown my thoughts to ease the pain
So instead I'll soak it in
While I stare outside again

And I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

    G#               F
The sun just won't seem to come out
G#               F
Now that you've walked away
        D#
Now I cannot escape
    A#
I cannot escape
     C#
The rain
     C D# C D#
The rain

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday
