Too often skewered, too often left, too often sick and bereft, too often confused and easily led.
You too often left us for dead.
But if we change in the new year, it's only because we have to.
Given the choice, given the s___e, we never would.
And if we say we will call you, you really shouldn't believe us.
Given minds of our own, we never will.

So easily tossed, so easily lost, so easily taken to rut.
So easily led around by our hearts, so easily dragged through the mud.
(Oh, I know, I know.) But if we change in the new year, it's only because we have to.
Give the choice, given the s___e, we never would.
And if we say we will call you, you really shouldn't believe us.
Given minds of our own, we never will.

Call us a legion if you have to, moving slowly toward the day, a day of confession, of reconciliation.
Oh, do you believe in love? Because we do.
We know if because we've seen it.
(Seen it on billboards, seen it on the big screen, seen it on tv, seen it on greeting cards.)
