Happy New Year

So, you're gonna give your love

For somebody who doesn't even know your story

You're taking yourself to an unknown world

And I will be around to celebrate the glory

When you find out the mess you did to yourself

I'll be there, clapping hands, to give you the trophy

For the best stupid person I've ever seen

That's why I chose to live day by day

That's why I chose to live for today

Nothing else about you is gonna let me down

And I'm not gonna miss you when you're not around

I'm giving myself a new life to live

And that's all I really want for the next year

A happy new year

It's not about losing a battle

This wouldn't fit properly with me

It doesn't sound right to give in

Neither is right to keep suffering

I hope you succeed and, when you do, I'll be around

If failure should teach you anything, I'll be around

But if you lead yourself to misery, I'll be apart

Cause this would cause much more pain for me than for you

That's why I chose to live day by day

That's why I chose to live for today

Nothing else about you is gonna let me down

And I'm not gonna miss you when you're not around

I'm giving myself a new life to live

And that's all I really want for the next year

A happy new year

And that's all I really want

And that's all I really need

And that's all I'm willing for the next year

A happy new year
