New Year Old Love

The clock strikes twelve, but your name still stays A new year begins, but my heart replays Thought I can let go, thought time would erase But your memory lingers, it won't be replaced Met a thousand faces, but none felt the same No one's not even a candle, compared to your flame Why now, after all these years Why you, through all my fears The world moves on, but I can't break free No one else could ever feel like you to me So here's to the love I thought I'd outgrow A part of me that can never get thrown New year, same heart, still lost in you Chasing the chance of a delusion The world changes, but I remain Caught in an emotion I can't explain New year, old love, it's all I've got Still holding on to what we're not Sought salvation, thought I'd find a way I thought I could replace the one I seek I met the world, but it didn't suffice No one's you, no one fills me with enough love Why now, when I should've moved on Why you, when the years are gone Let the fireworks fade, let the crowd disperse But your name's the blessing and the curse The clock keeps ticking, I try to forget But your absence's a dance I haven't left yet New year, same heart, still lost in you Chasing the chance of a delusion The world changes, but I remain Caught in an emotion I can't explain New year, old love, it's all I've got Still holding on to what we're not A new year's here, but I still stand alone My heart's forever your home
