Out With the Old

I want out with the old to let in the new

This is not my first rodeo but it feels like a debut

Guess I must have a type as I compared you two

But I don’t mean it negatively, I think it’s more charming on you

And this territory’s familiar

I feel I’ve seen it all before

Scary it’s so similar

But you’ve left me wanting more

Cuz I wanna make new memories with you

Forget all the bullshit I’ve been through

Cuz you got me thinkin’ I love you

Got me thinkin’ I wanna be with you

So a-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

Inspiring a new stupid tune

A-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

Eager for the future late or soon

If you think this verse was easy to write then you’re wrong

Because it’s been forever since I wrote those “cheesy love songs”

The lyrics came so fast and so true

But I gotta remember it’s not for them but for you

Rip out the old to grow in the new

You ripped up my love song, stepped on my heart too

Hear my reprise change to a bitter tune

Let go of my old self to grow past the doom

And now it’s all over

A screwy ending came

I know I’ll recover

But it hurts all the same

Cuz I wanted to make new memories with you

But you added to the bullshit I’ve been through

Cuz you had me thinkin’ I love you

Had me thinkin’ I wanted to be with you

I wrote a-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

Singing an ignorant love tune

A-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

Eager for the future way too soon

If you think this verse was easy to write then you’re wrong

Because I meant every word of it as a “cheesy love song”

The lyrics changed so sad but so true

Though it’s been so hard to taint those happy moments of you

But suddenly, you let go of your old self too

And suddenly, you let yourself shine anew

You let me give you a chance

You gave yourself a chance

I’ve never been so proud

So let me reprise this nice and loud

Cuz I‘m gonna make new memories with you

Move past the bullshit we’ve been through

Cuz now I know I love you

Now I know I wanna be with you

So a-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

Keep singing this sweet happy tune

A-la-di-da-di-dum-duh-da-dum

We’ll face the future together real soon

If you think this song was easy to write, well that’s true

Cuz everything feels so right when I’m with you

Let’s keep writing our story together

I promise to bare with you through any weather

You stole my heart, became my muse

Apologies if this makes you feel used

But I finally finished this song

So another sorry it took so long
