The New Year

I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behindWhat a way to start the new yearOn my hands and knees cleaning up the dirt and grimeWhat a way to start the new yearI'm sick of holding both ends of the tightropeCause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for meStretched thin to the end trying to keep it all inWhat a way to start the new yearWon't you say that it's alright?Won't you tell me it's okay?Because there's 364 more daysI might be smiling but you'll never even hear me sayThat I like it in the shadowsCounting down to zero just to start againOh what a way to start the new yearDon't get me wrong, I hate this holidayWhat a way to start the new yearOn my hands and knees, choosing what I have to sayWhat a way to start the new yearI never realized it could mean so muchJust to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same,And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we've becomeWon't you say that it's alright?Won't you tell me it's okay?Because we have 364 more daysI might be smiling but you'll never even hear me sayThat I like it in the shadowsCounting down to zero just to start againOh what a way to start the new yearWas it really that bad?And could it be better?Well, I don't know, but with you I still have hopeThat this could be my year364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your faceMaking light out of the shadows, finally get to zeroMaybe we'll both say364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your faceMaking light out of the shadows, finally get to zeroMaybe we'll both sayWhat a way to start the new year
