Toast to me, hold up my glass
To all mistakes I've made
Good intentions washed away
As soon as spring time came
I danced a summer, fell an autumn
Another candle blown
Now winter's come around again
And back where I begun
And even though you hear it all
I know you don't believe
Let me keep the last thing left for me
This will be the year, the year
The year I learn to take some time
To stop and breathe it in
To keep a promise to myself
To finish what I begin
Bad habits stop, no more regrets
A step out of the red
Open arms and an open heart
To all that lies ahead
And even though you've heard it all
I know you don't believe
Let me keep the last thing left for me
This will be the year, the year
My faith carries me
I'll keep holding on
And I'll face finally
What I've been doing wrong
I know you don't believe
But just for me can't you pretend?
That you'll never ever hear me say
These words again
I know this time I won't be late
This time I will arrive
Save my tears, save my doubts
This time I will try
I know I can be better
I promise I'll be strong
I'll make them see what I had been
Seeing all along
I know you've heard it all before
And I know you don't believe
But let me keep the last thing left for me
This will be the year, the year
