[Verse 1]
Walking along a crowded street
I see thousands of faces before me
Then I see a face that I used to know
Long ago in my life story
It starts me thinking 'bout the things you said
For your image is still inside me
The past is gone, but in my head
You're still walking along beside me
Is it something playing tricks with my eyes
Or just an illusion deceiving me?
Or is it someone in a disguise
Or visions of things that used to be?

[Chorus]
But lately I've been going to
All the places that we once knew
And just when I think that I'm free of you
I keep seeing the things that remind me of you
And just when I think you're out of my head
I hear a song that you sang or see a book that you read
Then you're in every bar, you're in every café
You're driving every car, I see you every day
But you're not really there 'cause you belong to yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back, gotta be hard
Yeah, look straight ahead
That's the only way it's gonna be
Yesterday's gone and that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back
[Pre-Chorus]
Perhaps someday I'll stop needing you
Then maybe one day I'll be free of you

[Chorus]
But lately I've been going to
All the places that remind me of you
And just when I think you're out of my head
I hear a record you played or see a book that you read
Then you're in every bar, you're in every café
You're driving every car, I see you every day
But you're not really there 'cause you belong to yesterday

[Outro]
No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back
No more looking back
No more living in the past
Yesterday's gone, that's a fact
Now there's no more looking back
