Story Behind The Song
I wrote this last year (2010) after the New Year when I was sick with a cold and lying on the couch looking at the Christmas tree and thinking about this person.
Song Description
This song is about being sad in the new year about Christmas being over and also about being heartbroken and you can't seem to get better. But, by the end, you hope for a better year, even for the person who hurt you and you hope to move on.

Lyrics
V. #1- It's a long day now
Sitting here watching TV alone
I am feeling down
Cause there's nothing for me to do
It's a new year now
I can't escape my thoughts on the sofa
There's no running now
And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner
(And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner)
Ch. #1- Why do I feel so bruised and battered?
Why do I feel so blue?
With anyone else it wouldn't matter
Anyone else but you
V. #2- You've got a new girl now
And, I can't say that nobody warned me
But, I'll get by
And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner
(And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner
V. #1- It's a long day now
Sitting here watching TV alone
I am feeling down
Cause there's nothing for me to do
It's a new year now
I can't escape my thoughts on the sofa
There's no running now
And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner
(And the Christmas tree blinks at me in the corner)
Ch. #2- Why do I feel so bruised and battered?
Why do I feel so blue?
With anyone else it wouldn't matter
Anyone else but you
Why do I feel so heartbroken?
Sitting here in my room
With anyone else it wouldn't matter
Anyone else but you
Bridge- But life turns around
Winter turns to spring
Flowers bloom
A bird takes wing
Ch. #3- Why do I feel so bruised and battered?
Why do I feel so blue?
With anyone else it wouldn't matter
Anyone else but you
So, let's make a toast to new beginnings
I'll make a toast to you
Here's to a year that's looking better
It will be a good one too
With anyone else but you
