The Old Year (of Denial)

There's so much to be thankful for
 And so much to be forgotten
 There's no perfect secret
 To the things that bring us joy
 Ha ha! to the old year
 Goodbye to the cold fear
 Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it
 Goodbye, denial
 The mind is a wanderer
 It slips off into a false world
 Never stopping for a minute
 To take a good look around
 Ha ha! to the old year
 Goodbye to the cold fear
 Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it
 I'm gonna live like a living soul
 Gonna write it on my wretched bones
 And stop waiting for happily ever after
 Ha ha! to the old year
 Goodbye to the cold, cold fear
 Gonna cry when I need it
 Ha ha! to the old year
 Wave goodbye to the cold fear
 Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it, laugh when I need it
 Goodbye, denial, goodbye
