Better Next Year

At the pub on Monday night

I know I shouldn't but it just seems right

Just need a place to be alone

Can't believe a year has gone

I'll have myself a Bundy and coke

Before your memory starts to choke me up again.

I should move on, I know I can

I should show how strong I am

And make this day and place the start

To drown this aching in my heart

I'll raise my glass to my new deal

Before your memories haunt and I feel you again

But I'll be better next year

With my therapy of whiskey and beer

And my ability to find someone new

And my willingness to get over you

Until then

I'm going to clear this house from top to bottom

But please don't think that you're forgotten

Photo frames and that old guitar

The memory of being in your arms

Playing that thing and the kids sang too

Dust would settle on me and you

And I'm free again

But I'll be better next year

With my therapy of whiskey and beer

And my ability to find someone new

And my willingness to get over you

Until then
