[Verse 1]
Happy New Year!
I’m closing that door
Leaving behind
Lying husband
He kept me small
Kept me worn thin
But I’ve got my son
And I’m moving in
[Pre-Chorus]
Step by step
I’m taking back time
No more tears on repeat
No more borrowed life
[Chorus]
Better future, better future
That’s the road I choose
Better future, better future
For me and my boy too
Living happy, living happy
I’m saying it loud tonight
Better future, better future
We’re gonna be all right
[Verse 2]
Morning comes in
With cereal bowls
Small hands on mine
And a brave new home
I’ll make the bed
I’ll open the shades
Learn to breathe easy
One day at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
Step by step
I’m taking back time
No more tears on repeat
No more borrowed life
[Chorus]
Better future, better future
That’s the road I choose
Better future, better future
For me and my boy too
Living happy, living happy
I’m saying it loud tonight
Better future, better future
We’re gonna be all right
[Bridge]
If I shake, I still stand
If I fall, I rise again
My son will see me
Choose myself again
[Breakdown]
Happy New Year
Hear me now
I’m not turning back
Not now
[Final Chorus]
Better future, better future
That’s the road I choose
Better future, better future
For me and my boy too
Living happy, living happy
I’m saying it loud tonight
Better future, better future
We’re gonna be all right
Better future, better future
Watch us walk into the light
