December 31 (Acoustic) Lyrics

December 31

I crashed a party

I could tell they didn’t know that I was coming

I think that's when I knew

And we all said our goodbyes

And I left before the cheers at midnight

Take back everything that I said

Tell those old high school friends

I'm finally moving on

And even though I won't see them again

I still wish them the best

In all the years to come

December 31

I used to stay up with you

Counting down the time like we had nothing to lose

We went our separate ways

And I just want you to know

You were the hardest thing I ever had to let go

Lost friends cuz I needed new ones

Had to find a new love to put the old away

It's that time of year to hold all of your loved ones

So if you're missing someone

Don't wait till it's too late

December 31

I'll be with my family

Cuz through it all they were the ones to stick with me

I had to wait my turn to find my blessings

So don't lose faith I'm sure your time is coming

I finally found my place

And I'm really happy

Now I'm not alone and I'm no longer empty

So as that clock strikes twelve

I'll count down the memories

Of all the people and the places that made me

That made me

Lost the girl I thought I was

Turns out that I was wrong

I'm beautiful and strong

Never alone

Just lost what I called home

Had to wander on my own

To find my hope
