Ending a Chapter Lyrics

I'm starting a new year with the same resolutions
And I found a new love with all the same problems
So I walk through your front door
Just like the night before
To talk about my dreams and if they have meaning

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

I started a new day with the same reservations
Ending a chapter for all the wrong reasons
So talked to an old friend to try to find answers
To all of the questions that I couldn't ask her
Like why is it so hard?
And why do we care so much?
And why do we hold to what we don't have a hold on?

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

I'm starting a new year with the same resolutions
And I found a new love with all the same problems
So I walk through your front door
Just like the night before
To talk about my dreams and if they have meaning

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

I started a new day with the same reservations
Ending a chapter for all the wrong reasons
So talked to an old friend to try to find answers
To all of the questions that I couldn't ask her
Like why is it so hard?
And why do we care so much?
And why do we hold to what we don't have a hold on?

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

I wish I could say what I need to say
But I'm still hanging on for one last chance to play
I wish that I knew what I need to know
Then it would be easier for me just to let it go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
