This Year

I think I have to blame this goddamn year
My faith in all that’s good has disappeared
That open heart of mine, broke too many times
I think I have to blame this year

As of late, somethings become clear
cause I’m looking at a stranger in the mirror
The life I knew is gone, there stands a different woman
And I have seen the change this year

I went home, and found a house
Time had taken something out
All these absences amount to
loosing you this year

The seasons came on crashing in this year
The fall it burned up all that I held dear
The summer made us roam, spring didn’t stay for long
The winter chilled our bones this year

This year will be the last we share an age
It’s marched across the lines upon my face
The next I take alone, And you will stay forever young
Freed of your bonds, this year


Wild, warm and full of fire
Our beloved chaos child
You burned the candle at both sides
Lived a lifetime, in a year


I have seen the darkness tip the scales
Took my brightest thing, and turned him pale
Time was once a friend, now the marking of an end
Where do we begin this year

Well I will spend our birthday in your town
Surrounded by our family in your house
We’ll fill the empty space, with all the love that you gave
But we won’t ever be the same this year

There in a different realm
where they do not measure time
I am still yours and you are mine
forever more somewhere

Now I mean it more and more
when I say I love you
And I just need you to know
You’re the best part of this fucking year
There’s no point in blame this year
I will have to thank this year
