Every minute crawls like an hour   Every day lasts a lifetime,   Since you've gone   Everything that was right is wrong   It's only the sorrow that grows strong     Now we can both take equal blame   But it doesn't take away the pain   I wish yesterday was tonight   I wish there was no reason to fight   If only the ivory towers would fall   Oh why must it be so predictable     It all semed so perfect   Why couldn't we just accept it   Now it's gone   We swore forever   Our love flowed like a river   Now there's drought in my soul     Now we can both take equal blame   But it doesn't take away the pain   I wish yesterday was tonight   I wish there was no reason to fight   If only the ivory towers would fall   Oh why must it be so predictable     Yeah I thought the winner takes all   Thought that I would be left with so much more   But this victory leaves me with only sorrow   Why must it be so predictable     I wish yesterday was tonight   I wish I was still holding you tight   If only the ivory towers would fall   Oh why must it be so predictable
