Resolutions

(Verse One)
New year, new me
You can tell yourself that
But February comes around
And your promise falling flat
Don’t blame yourself
It’s just the way we’ve been trained
Let’s make a big change
While we play the same games
Resolutions are excuses
Only work for so long
Before you go back
To doing all the last year wrongs
We all can vow for change
But most of us can’t back it up
Oh well, it’s party time
So keep filling up my cup

(Verse Two)
New diet starts tomorrow
So I’ll eat this sugar now
I’m going to the gym
Make the guys whistle and wow
Gonna read all the books
I put on my bucket list
I’m gonna put a filter
Over words that leave my lips
I swear I’ll go to church
Gotta get right with the Lord
Maybe if I start to pray
It’ll help my bank afford
All the travel that I’ll take
I wanna finally see the ocean
Maybe if I start to wax
I won’t question his devotion

(Verse Three)
You’re lying to the world
Most importantly yourself
You know in a few weeks
The goals will go back on the shelf
We’re all too fucking lazy
And too hell bent in our ways
To put the work to fix
To make a big enough change
I’m sick of your tradition
Don’t wanna hear you bitch
About how life is so unfair
When you’ll never make the switch
So go ‘head write your post
Bout how next year will be different
While I watch you sit at home
Shut it, I don’t wanna hear it

(Chorus)
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses
Resolutions aren’t solutions
Resolutions are excuses

(Outro)
Resolutions are excuses
Do not tell me otherwise
Stop lying to yourself
I can see it in your eyes
Your promises are empty
Empty like your solo cup
Sorry I’m a buzzkill
I’ve just finally had enough
Resolutions aren’t solutions
You aren’t ever gonna change
Save your angry comments
You’ll just label me deranged
I’m just tired of the posts
Watching them get taken down
When you realize the truth
In the words that leave my mouth
