lyrics

Brand New Year

I caught you talking 'bout fears and what keeps holding you down
"I'll never make it alone and I'll never leave this town"
I know your heart is aching but it's a comfort you've found
I see you hanging your head when you should be so proud

Take all your worries and fears this is a brand new year
Leave all your troubles to me and I will set them free
I hear you talking about fears and that's what's holding you back
This is a brand new year
This is a brand new year

I see that pause in your step I hear you talking aloud
Why are you giving it breath why is it sticking around
I know your heart is breaking I know that terrible sound
I see you biting your tongue when you should be so loud

Take all your worries and fears this is a brand new year
Leave all your troubles to me and I will set them free
I hear you talking about fears and that's what's holding you back
This is a brand new year
This is a brand new year

I hear ya breathing baby
You're hardly sleeping lately
Cast off these doubts that keep hanging on
I see you trying baby
Cause it been so hard lately
Forgive the ones that keep holding on

I caught you talking 'bout fears and what's keeps holding you down
I see you holding back tears 'cause this goes on for years and
years...

Take all your worries and fears this is a brand new year
Give all your troubles to me and I will set you free
I hear you talking about fears and that's what's holding you back

This is a brand new year
This is a brand new year
This is a brand new year
This is a brand new year
