Last Year Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to believe in diamonds and things
I used to believe in you and me
But now I believe in nothing


I used to wake up in the morning
And reach for that bottle or glass
But I don't do that anymore
Kicked my habits out the front door

[Verse 2]
And I'm always talking to somebody else
She doesn't even know my face
I don't know how I feel
I'm all over the place

And when I go out I don't feel anything
I just keep on spending my money
One day it will be gone
And then I'll have to write another song

[Verse 3]
What a year this day has been
What a day this year has been
Please don't get me wrong
I just don't know where time has gone
What a year this day has been
What a day this year has been
Please don't get me wrong
I just don't know where my mind has gone

[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
Aaah-aah-aaah-aahh

La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
Aaah-aah-aaah-aahh-aaaah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
