Next Year

(Verse 1)

I watched you try to leave, but you circled back again

Like every promise that you break becomes my oxygen

You said 2025 would be the year you disappear

But every shadow that you cast still whispers in my ear

I kept the lights on just in case you’d cross the line

Pretending I don’t want you when I feel you every time

You said you’d go –but you’re still here

You said you’d stop –but you stay near

You said “not now”... maybe next year

(Pre-chours)

I feel it pulling close again, the way you cross the line

You linger in my shadow like a warning or a sign

You say you’re letting go, but you’re always drawing near

I know you’re coming back, if not now… then next year

(Chours)

You will do it next year

(F*ck me, love me, hate me)

You will do it next year

Can’t escape the way you chase me

You will do it next year

(Break me, shake me, make me)

You will do it next year

'Cause you always come back lately

You will do it next year

(F*ck me, love me, hate me)

Yeah, you’ll do it–

Next year, next year, baby

(Verse 2)

You haunt the corners of my room like something left unsaid

A future written in your voice, replaying in my head

You swore 2026 would finally make you clean

But every lie you ever told still slips between my dreams

You say you’re changing but your heartbeat stays the same

Running back to me like you forget who’s in the game

You’ll break again –I volunteer,

You’ll crawl again –you’re drawn right here,

You’ll want again... maybe next year.

(Pre-chours)

I feel it pulling close again, the way you cross the line

You linger in my shadow like a warning or a sign

You say you’re letting go, but you’re always drawing near

I know you’re coming back, if not now… then next year

(Chours)

You will do it next year

(F*ck me, love me, hate me)

You will do it next year

Can’t escape the way you chase me

You will do it next year

(Break me, shake me, make me)

You will do it next year

'Cause you always come back lately

You will do it next year

(F*ck me, love me, hate me)

Yeah, you’ll do it–

Next year, next year, baby

(Verse 3)

I trace the outlines of your ghost like it was meant to be

A rhythm in the quiet that keeps pulling you to me

You swear you’ve grown since 2025, I laugh because I know

You only bloom in darkness where the forbidden feelings grow

You want control but always fold the moment you appear

Pretending you’re above it while you fall again, my dear

You run, you fall –it’s crystal clear,

You try, you lie –you persevere,

You’ll call my name... maybe next year.

(Final chours)

You will do it next year

(F*ck me, love me, hate me)

You will do it next year

Baby, you can’t even fake me

You will do it next year

(Break me, shake me, take me)

You will do it next year

You keep coming back to chase me

You say you’ll change, but you stay near–

You’ll fall again, it’s always clear

You lose your way, then reappear–

Yeah, you’ll do it...

Next year, next year, next year

(Outro)

2025 is fading out, just like my love for you–

Same cold ending, nothing left to hold onto.

And 2026?

That’s not a new beginning...

that’s just another year

you won’t get back

(Next year, next year... but never us next year)

Goodbye.
