Revolution of Resolutions

We all resolve to change something with a new year
Trying to change our outcomes for the better
How do you resolve to be happy again?
How do you let go of everything you held so close
Our addictions to pain and heart break
How do you let go of the things you dream about
The things you wake up sad that you don't have
How do you let go of pain?
You simply can't say good bye to it
You can mask it but it will still taunt
I resolve to not tell someone I hate them
To not tell someone they ruined my life
Revolution on our resolutions
I won't be afraid anymore
To let my heart open to someone
I won't hold on to someone who dropped me long ago
I'll try not to be a sucker for just a pretty smile
I'll tell you how I really feel finally
We're fools if we think we need a new year to do all this
To think anything is actually different
You can cut your hair and change your clothes all you want
You'll still be you, same old you
Who hates what he sees in the mirror some days
So he finds a new way to reinvent himself
I resolve to be fucking true with myself
No more lying and pretending
If the whole world is shallow
Then I'll try to be a little deeper
To look past the outer shell
To travel from this land
To see something so beautiful, it shoots me through the clouds
I'll make a resolution right now
I resolve to be me and just do what I want
Fuck resolutions.
