Born Yesterday

The first quiet breath of the day

Recalls the night

And as I reflect on the pain

Through tears gone dry

Am I as blind as I remind myself

Or did I depend on a dried up wishing well

Only till the end of time

Is through

I will keep

A burning torch for you

Born yesterday

Thought I knew enough

I've never felt this way

Born yesterday

Guess you're not so tough

All hearts don't break the same

Now everything seems to have

A smoother edge

But what really changed was

Suspicion in my head

Was I relieved at my naive display

Put to rest a question I never could explain

You could fool me for a hundred years

But now I won't be

Tortured by my fears

I wasn't born yesterday

Thought I knew enough

I've never felt this way

Born yesterday

Guess you're not so tough

All hearts don't break the same

I finally cut the cord

And all that went with it

And nothing is all I have to give

I didn't know

How good it could feel

Just to live
