New Year's Lie

We met when the fireworks lit up the sky
Your eyes were brighter than the stars that night
You said: I've never felt love before
And I believed you, I gave you more

You held my hand, said: I'm not like the rest
Promised forever with your head on my chest

But you said you'd stay
You swore you'd never walk away
You begged for love like it would save your life
Then left me drowning in your new year's lie
Just a spark, then a fade
I was real, you were just a parade

You cried like the world had broken you
So I gave you everything I knew
But days went by, and so tries this
Just cold and cruel

I kept replaying that midnight kiss
Wondering how it turned to this

Cause you said you'd stay
You swore you'd never walk away
You begged for love like it would save your life
Then left me drowning in your new year's lie
Just a flame, then you're gone
Guess your promises don't last long

Or maybe too much
You wanted healing, I wanted touch
Now I'm alone with echoes of you
In the room where we said: We'd make it through

Yeah, you said you'd stay
But you disappeared like yesterday
You begged for love, said: Don't let me die
Then vanished into your new year's lie
Now I know
Not every spark means the fire will grow
You were the start of my year
But just another end, I fear
