"This Time Last Year" lyrics

This time, last year, right around the holidays
There were messes in my mind
I was learnin' all the harder ways
Livin' it down, and drinkin' a lot
But hittin' the town didn't hit the spot
But, oh, how the tides change, in 3-65 days

I gave hell a piece of my mind
It gave me a hit to my pride
But I came out on the other side
The devil said, "Hi"
But baby, baby, look at me now
I lost a couple good friends
Untied a couple loose ends
It's all part of sheddin' old skin
And startin' again
But baby, baby, look at me now

But baby, baby, look at me now
It's kind of got me thinkin' 'bout

This time, last year, the heartbreak was undeniable
But day by day, I became unrecognizable
Makin' my rounds, shootin' my shot
Standin' my ground, pissin' people off
Oh, how the ride's changed in 3-65 days
Mm

I gave hell a piece of my mind
It gave me a hit to my pride
But I came out on the other side
The devil said, "Hi"
But baby, baby, look at me now
I lost a couple good friends
Untied a couple loose ends
It's all part of sheddin' old skin
And startin' again
And baby, baby, look at me now

People thinkin' that I've changed
They used to be my biggest fear, my biggest fear (This time last year)
But thank God that I've changed (Thank God that I've changed)
From this time, last year (This time, last year)
'Cause this time, last year ('Cause this time)

I gave hell a piece of my mind
It gave me a hit to my pride
But I came out on the other side
The devil said, "Hi"
But baby, baby, look at me now
I lost a couple good friends
Untied a couple loose ends
It's all part of sheddin' old skin
And startin' again
And baby, baby, look at me now

This time, last year
Mm, mm
This time, last year
Baby, baby, look at me now (Baby, baby, look at me now)

It's gonna be okay
You'll live to see the day when you're gonna say
Look at me now
