Everything seemed so much easier
a little less then a year ago
and since then I’ve been hoping
this feeling is something I'll outgrow

but so far it's staying strong
unlike all of my relationships
because I'm afraid of love
but addicted to flirtatious lips

I'm not even happy anymore
no matter the smiles fake
every night I lie alone
and every night I lie awake

I promise that I'll be better
or at least I swear to try
you can trust me this time
I couldn't bear to lie

so here's to this year
and who I'll be at the end
here's to this life
every lover and every friend
