What’s the New Year to Bring

Holidays ring in bitter things 

Like how you left me 

Mid December 

Now I’m better off 

Living my life 

Enjoying whatever it brings 

I once was a wantless tool

You could take advantage of

The chimes of December 

Sounded like love 

Then were the tones of death 

Of you and I a goodbye

That was then and then it was now

What’s the new year to bring 

I was innocent and naive 

What’s the new year to bring

Now I’m jaded from the lies told

What’s the new year to bring 

You proposed to me twice then

You left me three times 

Like I meant nought 

I had to find my

Way by myself 

Learning you were just a chapter

Not a book that I’m defined by 

Or anything that describes 

In winter remember 

The words of love 

Aren’t so joyous, precious 

The lies of it I cry why 

That was then and then it was now

What’s the new year to bring 

I was innocent and naive 

What’s the new year to bring

Now I’m jaded from the lies told

What’s the new year to bring 

I’m too bitter to be sweet

But I’m fine like a great wine 

I’m to be enjoyed 

In my way.  

That was then and then it was now

What’s the new year to bring 

I was innocent and naive 

What’s the new year to bring

Now I’m jaded from the lies told

What’s the new year to bring
