I'm not the first to say good bye
To a love I thought would never
pass me by
And I'm not so good at giving in
But I know when I have tried my best
I still can't win
But next year
I swear
I will be a better man
With a better plan of
getting out of here
But each time
I find nothing really changes
But I still say,
It's been a good year
I won't pretend to answer why
We are never at the place we thought
we'd be in time
But I'm not angry anymore
You go do your thing
You do your thing
I won't hold you back anymore
But next year
I swear
I will be a better man
With a better plan of getting out of here
But each time I find
Nothing really changes
But I still say
It's been a good year
And as we say goodbye to
what we've lost
And what was taken away
I think I'd have to say we're better off
Having lived it every day
The way we were
in life
I miss it every day
The way we were when life came
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old aquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne
This year it seemed like getting through
Was just about the hardest thing to do
But I'm not angry anymore
You go do your thing
You do your thing
I won't hold you back anymore
But next year
I swear
I will be a better man
With a better plan of breaking out of here
But each time
I find nothing really changes
But I still say
It's been a good year
But next year
I swear
I will be a better man
With a better plan of
getting out of here
But each time
I find nothing really changes
But I still say
It's been a good year
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
I'm not the first to say good bye
To a love I thought would never
pass me by
