I've got a brand-new perspective, I’m feeling so alive
Now that I’ve cleared the wreckage from a thousand drunken nights
I’ve got a new foundation, a solid place to stand
Without that drink in my hand
(Pre-Chorus)
My head is clear, I can finally breathe
I’ve got a brand-new reason not to fall to my knees
I realize I’ve got everything I need
Just the power of my belief
(Chorus)
So why, oh why, oh, why, would I ever go back?
Back to the bottle that nearly broke my back?
No way, oh, no, I'm never going down that road again
I've got a brand-new life to live, sober
(Verse 2)
I used to think that drinkin’ was the only way to cope
But now I see it’s just an escape from the things that I can’t hope
To never find a solution, I have to face the truth
It was the whiskey talking not me not you
(Pre-Chorus)
I am strong enough to overcome
The drinkin' days are done, I'm so glad that they are gone
Now that I feel the strength of who I am
That power's in my hands
(Chorus)
So why, oh, why, oh why would I ever go back?
Back to the bottle that nearly broke my back?
No way, oh, no, I’m never going down that road again
I’ve got a brand-new life to live, sober
(Bridge)
I’ve got a better view now, I can finally smile
I’m not that drunken girl anymore, I’ve got style
I’m living on the top now, I’m on the upper hand
I’m on the mountain top, I feel like I can fly
With only the sky above me, my wings are spreading wide
There’s no stopping me, watch me soar
Into a new life, I'm flying over the world
(Chorus)
So why, oh, why, oh why would I ever go back?
Back to the bottle that nearly broke my back?
No way, oh, no, I’m never going down that road again
I’ve got a brand-new life to live, sober
(Outro)
Gonna fly, fly over the world
I’m never going back, back to the way I was before
I’ve got a brand-new life, I’m never going down that road again
I’m gonna fly, I’m never going back
