So Yesterday Lyrics

[Interlude]
Ha, okay

[Verse 2]
You can say you're bored (If you wanna)
You could act real tough (If you wanna)
You could say you're torn
But I've heard enough

Thank you, you made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Do you see a single tear?
It isn't gonna happen here


[Pre-Chorus]
At least not today
Not today, not today, 'cause

[Chorus]
If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow, it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off, let it go and
When you wake up, it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay?
[Bridge]
If you're over me, I'm already over you
If it's all been done, what is left to do?
How can you hang up if the line is dead?
If you wanna walk, I'm a step ahead
If you're movin' on, I'm already gone

If the light is off, then it isn't on

[Pre-Chorus]
At least not today
Not today, not today, 'cause

[Chorus]
If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow, it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away
Laugh it off, let it go and
When you wake up, it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard?
You're so yesterday
If it's over, let it go and (So yesterday, so yesterday)
Come tomorrow, it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away (So yesterday)
Laugh it off, let it go and (So yesterday, so yesterday)
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
[Outro]
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay?

What did Hilary Duff say about "So Yesterday"?
Genius Answer

It’s funny because I heard it for the first time and I was like, ”I don’t really like this song.” I started listening to it more and more and I kind of started to like it. And I was like, ”OK, I’m going to go in the studio and give this 100 percent and I’m not gonna say anything bad about it. And I ended up loving it. It was such a fun song, and it means a lot. It’s very empowering toward breaking up with your boyfriend and getting over it and stuff.
