Toasting me, hold up my glass, to all mistakes I've made
Good intentions washed away, as soon as springtime came
I danced in summer, fell in autumn, another candle glow
Now winter's come and round again, I'm back where I've begun
And even though you've heard it all, I know you don't believe
Let me keep the last thing left for me
This... will be... the year, the year

The year I learned to take some time to stop and breathe again
To keep a promise to myself, to finish what I begin
Bad habits stop, no more regrets, step out of the rain
Open arms and an open heart, to all that lies ahead
And even though you've heard it all, and I know you don't believe
Let me keep the last thing left for me
This... will be... the year, the year

My fate carries me, I'll keep holding on, and I'll face my fear, what I've
Been doing wrong
And though you told me, but just for me, can't you pretend,
That you'll never, ever hear me say... these words again
I know this time I won't be late, this time I will arrive
Save my tears, save my doubts, this time I will try, I know I can be
Better, I promise I'll
Be strong, I'll make a scene that I have been seeing all along
I know you've heard it all before and I know you don't believe
But let me keep the last thing left for me
This... will be... the year, the year
