[Verse 1]
Many nights overwhelmed
By emotions couldn't help myself, oh no
Ooh, that's life
Faked a smile, not hard to tell
Yeah it was a pretty long year, but oh well
Ooh I'm alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Now in hindsight looking back
I'm wondering why I was so sad
Maybe things weren't half bad

[Chorus]
Next year won't fly past me
Finally be happy
Take a good look at me now
On to the next year
Next year will be better
And one to remember
Make myself forever proud
On to the next year

[Verse 2]
It was difficult
But it’s all good now, gotta let it go
I was getting lost, searching for the meaning
Blaming myself for no good reason
And I had a thought
I've been taking it for granted everything I've got
Life is beautiful, somehow I just missed it
Clouds are gone and I finally see it different
[Pre-Chorus]
Now in hindsight looking back
I'm wondering why I was so sad
Maybe things weren't half bad

[Chorus]
Next year won't fly past me
Finally be happy
Take a good look at me now
On to the next year
Next year will be better
And one to remember
Make myself forever proud
On to the next year

[Bridge]
It'll be okay
It'll be worth all the tears
I won’t miss those days
'Cause I can’t wait for next year
It'll be okay
No longer blinded by fear
Done with my old ways
And I can’t wait for next year

[Chorus]
Next year won't fly past me
Finally be happy
Take a good look at me now
On to the next year
Next year will be better
And one to remember
Make myself forever proud
On to the next year
