Last Year
Best Coast Lyrics

I used to believe in diamonds and things
I used to believe in material possessions and luxuries.

I used to believe in you and me
I used to believe in the love and connection between us.

But now I believe in nothing
But now, I'm left with a void and no belief in anything.

I used to wake up in the morning
I had a routine and structure in my life.

And reach for that bottle or glass
But my addiction controlled me and my first thought was always to drink or numb the pain.

But I don't do that anymore
But I've made the decision to leave my addiction behind and take control of my life.

Kicked my habits out the front door
I've overcome my addiction and left it behind me.

And I'm always talking to somebody else
I'm seeking connection and attention from anyone other than myself.

She doesn't even know my face
I'm reaching out to strangers and missing genuine connections.

I don't know how I feel
I'm struggling to process my emotions and understand my own thoughts.

I'm all over the place
I'm disoriented and unable to find direction or stability.

And when I go out I don't feel anything
I'm numb to the experiences around me and lack the ability to enjoy them.

I just keep on spending my money
I'm seeking temporary satisfaction through impulsive spending.

One day it will be gone
The money I'm spending will eventually run out.

And then I'll have to write another song
I'll be left with the consequences of my actions and the need to express them through music.

What a year this day has been
This day has felt impossibly long and overwhelming.

What a day this year has been
This year has been filled with challenges and hardship.

Please don't get me wrong
I'm not trying to be negative or ungrateful.

I just don't know where time has gone
I'm struggling to come to terms with how fast time is passing.

I just don't know where my mind has gone
I feel like my mind is wandering and lost, without any sense of direction or purpose.
