Brand New Day - by Tim Hopton
When I met you I was someone else
You changed my world jut to suit yourself
Before I knew what hit me
You squeezed me dry and then dismissed me
And left me alone in a brand new day
You used to say we’d always be together
I should have guessed, I should have known much better
Promises made
All the words that seem to fade to grey
In the light of a brand new day
I guess sometimes things don’t work out right
You’re better off to turn and face the light
Of a brand new day
I can’t complain, there was some good times too
I’ll think of them when I think of you
I don’t know what the cost is
Lick your wounds and count your losses
Lift your face to the brand new day
Who’d wanna guess, I wasn’t keeping score
Who finally triumphed in a tug of war
This ain’t no game we’re playing
All these nasty things we’re saying
Lose their sting in a brand new day
I guess sometimes things don’t work out right
You’re better off to turn and face the light
Of a brand new day
So let it rest and we’ll just let it be
There ain’t no us there’s only you and me
If the urge should overtake you
To call me up then I won’t make you
Cry in the light of a brand new day
Yes and if the urge should overtake you
To call me up then I won’t make you
Cry in the light of a brand new day
