This Time Last Year

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 365 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 365 days

Mmm

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

Mmm, mmm

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
