I swear this year is out to get me I won't make it out without stomach knots Black eyes, and bone-deep cuts Why do we love if it just ends in loss? How do you cope when all your hope is gone? It's a slow and lonely climb Through the seasons losing light I've been caught in a free fall Down this steep mental decline Now the months drag on Like death from a broken heart That time couldn't heal I swear this year is out to get me The rope tightens around my throat It won't let me go I swear this year is out to get me I won't make it out without stomach knots Black eyes, and bone-deep cuts January buried me in six feet of snow With frozen time and frostbite breaking off my brittle hope A sunless summer killed me even worse than I remember But I'll never have a darker day than the 14th of December I swear this year is out to get me The rope tightens around my throat It won't let me go I swear this year is out to get me I won't make it out without stomach knots Black eyes, and bone-deep cuts There's an ocean between true happiness and me But I'm choking on the salt As my melodramatic mind tells me That I've forgotten how to swim The medicine, so bittersweet Can't take the edge off that I need The medicine, so bittersweet Can't take the edge off that I need I swear this year's out to get me
