Oh, oh, no, oh, oh

Gave you the benefit of the doubt
Till you showed me what you were about
Your true colors came out

Oh

And your words couldn't hide the scent
'Cause the truth about where you've been
Is in a fragrance I can recognize

Standing there
Scratching your head
Blood shot eyes
Drunk with regret
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge
I'm done with this
Feeling like an idiot
Lovin' you--I'm over it
I just don't love you, don't love you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay
See, you, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
I don't wanna hear a thing you say
So yesterday

Funny now how I'm gone
The little light in your head came on
Now you realize it's all your fault, ooo, ooo

Don't you wish you had a time machine?
That way you could change history
That's the only way that you could be with me

Standing there
Scratching your head
Blood shot eyes
Drunk with regret
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge
I'm done with this
Feeling like an idiot
Lovin' you--I'm over it
I just don't love you, don't love you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay
See, you, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
I don't wanna hear a thing you say
So yesterday

And now you wanna reminisce
Say you wanna try again
Started with a little kiss
(We can't even regret) no, no

Now I never wanna see you
Never wanna feel you
Never wanna hear you
I don't love you
Don't need you
Can't stand you
No more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay
See, you, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
I don't wanna hear a thing you say
So yesterday

So yesterday
So yesterday
So yesterday
