It's darker than usual behind these eyelids tonight
There's a burning sensation behind every blink
And a heartache of loss with every beat
You used to tell me happy new year
Greet me with enthusiasm not even I had
And say goodbye to a year of great memories
But this time you didn't
There was no text with hidden glee
I won't get a greeting with a smile
Or a goodbye to the worst year of our life
Instead you said goodbye to me
You said goodbye to everything
And in your words you left or shattered hearts,
And a bowl of unintentionally broken promises

And a bowl of unintentionally broken promises
But at least you aren't in pain anymore
