The New Year

I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind Oh what a way to start the new year On my hands and knees and cleaning out the dirt and grime Oh what a way to start the new year I'm sick of holding both ends of a tightrope Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me I'm stretched thin to the end tryna keep it all in Oh what a way to start the new year Won't you say that it's all right? Won't you tell me it's okay? Because there is three hundred and sixty four more days I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say That I like it in the shadows Counting down to zero, just to start again Oh what a way to start the new year Don't get me wrong I hate this holiday (Oh what a way to start the new year) On my hands and knees and choosing what I have to say (Oh what a way to start the new year) I never realized it could mean so much Just 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 become oh Won't you say that it's all right Won't you tell me it's okay Cause we have three hundred and sixty four more days I might be smiling but you'll never even here me say That I like it in the shadows Counting down to zero, just to start again Oh what a way to start the new year But was it really that bad And could it be better Well I don't know, but with you I still have hope That this, could be, all my year (We have) Three hundred and sixty four more days One million chances left to find you and to see your face Making light out of my shadows Finally get to zero and maybe we'll both say (x2) Oh what a way to start the new year --- The New Year - Parachute
