First Day of the New Year
It was the first day of the new year
When I realized you were leaving
While I was falling in love with you
I became so lost in my sadness
It felt so much heavier than anything else
During the bluest, coldest January I’ve ever felt
That was the first time I waited for you
I couldn’t bear to lose you or let you go
So I betrayed my needs to hug your soul
Now a year has gone by and I’ve been a fool
For crying and wondering and longing for you
Torn in my battle between head and heart
This toxic soul tie is tearing me apart
You’ve left and come back too many times
Without a shred of empathy or compassion
Now it’s my broken heart’s resolve
To get over you and cut the tether
On the first day of the new year
