New Year (New Life)

The past year has been the most terrible for me
The pain never ended, it had always continued on
Every day has been different, but still a tragedy
Now the end is getting closer, soon this will all be gone

I let go of the one I loved, he only killed me inside
He knows what he's done, and now he's trying to fix it
I was the one who constantly had to hide
He is almost gone, and I needed to quit

I've met the people who can now keep me alive
The ones who were there when I didn't need them
They can make me smile without having to try
No more a slice in my heart, they mended the hem

Fights with my parents have begun no more
It's been months since I have last cried
My heart's turned stone-cold, not prone to being sore
The part of me that was vulnerable has withered and died

Now I await for the moment, the beauty ahead
For the light to shine through and come to life
Rejoice flows in my veins that have become dead
Not again will I ever be in this kind of strife

Staring at my phone, the minutes are going by slowly
I couldn't wait until the end of the year, waiting for tonight
My heart skips a beat when it's 11:59, I start to smile
And when the clock strikes 12:00, I say hello to my new life

Cause I'm starting over
