New Year, New Me

[Verse 1]
Same old calendar
Brand-new sky
Last year’s pages
Crumpled in my mind
I put my worries
In a cardboard box
Leave them by the door
Change the locks
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been scared of every mirror
Every flaw I thought they see
But tonight I’m stepping nearer
To the person I can be (yeah)
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
I’m saying goodbye to the old me
Letting the darkness fall
Far behind my feet
Happy New Year
I’m making room for the memories
Learning how to feel
A little more happy
A little more happy
This year
[Verse 2]
Tiny fireworks
In my chest
Little sparks of
“maybe I deserve the best”
I’ll take small steps
On an open road
Trusting my heart
To carry the load
[Pre-Chorus]
Every sunrise writes a promise
Every breath a chance to choose
I’m allowed to start again now
I’ve got nothing left to lose (oh)
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
I’m saying goodbye to the old me
Letting the darkness fall
Far behind my feet
Happy New Year
I’m making room for the memories
Learning how to feel
A little more happy
A little more happy
This year
[Bridge]
Here’s to the nights
I thought I’d break
Here’s to the love
I’ll learn to take
I’ll hold my heart
More carefully
But I won’t hide
What’s left of me (no)
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
I’m saying goodbye to the old me
Letting the darkness fall
Far behind my feet
Happy New Year
I’m making room for the memories
Learning how to feel
A little more happy
A little more happy
This year

pop, Bright modern pop with female vocals, clean electric guitar and warm synth pads over a midtempo four-on-the-floor groove. First verse starts intimate with soft keys and close-mic vocal; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy shakers, and a crisp snare. Subtle bass hooks and a short tom build lift into the final chorus, ending on a hopeful, shimmering chord., happy
