January Blues

We promised ourselves we’d do better this year

No more running, we were gonna tackle our fears

But here we are, trying to hold back our tears

Our minds are damaged, our skin is bruised

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January blues

 

We told ourselves as the ball began to drop

We would reinvent ourselves and become a new crop

And now we find ourselves lonely on the chopping block

We have fallen so far when we were once on top

And now these pains are left permanent, like we’re covered in tattoos

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January Blues

 

Given up on luck, no more throwing horseshoes

We’re left broken, from all the overuse

And now we’re laying and wasting, with nothing left to lose

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January Blues
