Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown, we have grown.
Although our love is still special,
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere alone.
It's been so long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over)
Ev'ry day we used to make it, love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly,
Don't let another day go by, my love,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over and over and oh)
Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away.
We'll be together all alone again,
Like we used to in the early days.
Well, well, darling.
It's been so long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over, (over)
Starting over. (over)
Look out!
Our life (doo doo)
Together, (doo doo)
It's so precious (doo doo)
Together, (doo doo)
We have grown, (doo doo doo wah)
Mm, we have grown (doo doo doo wah)
Although our love's (doo doo)
Still special, (doo doo doo wah)
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere.
(over and over and over)
Starting over. (over and over and over)
Uh-huh-uh-uh-uh-uh - (over and over and over)
Ah, ah, ah, (over and over and over)
Got to face your fear
lying on the floor
Step into nothing, what the hell am I here for?
So come on and play
Stab me in my heart
So long this time was wasted ripping me apart
We are the hurt inside your head
Lost in the void of what is dead
Constantly twisting things I said
Happiness is boring, need pain instead
It's starting over, starting over
Can't stand it's over, God is gonna take me out
My time is over, this time is over
Why is this over? God is gonna take me out
(God is gonna take me out)
Crawling on the floor
All around this space
Talking to myself
What is this thing I've got to face?
Walking through a door
Has it been a waste?
Going on and on thinking I could find my place
We are the hurt inside your head
Lost in the void of what is dead
Constantly twisting things I said
Happiness is boring, need pain instead
It's starting over, starting over
Can't stand it's over, God is gonna take me out
My time is over, this time is over
Why is this over? God is gonna take me out
God is gonna take me out (God is gonna take me out)
God is gonna take me out
You can't see
I'm torn away from you and everything that's
close to me
I cannot face the truth, it's nothing that
I believe
Just run away from me and thank me when you're
free from me
Come take me
Come take me
Come take me
Come take me
Come take me
Come take me (We are the hurt inside your head)
(Lost in the void of what is dead)
Come take me (Constantly twisting things I said)
(Happiness is boring, need pain instead)
Come take me (We are the hurt inside your head)
(Lost in the void of what is dead)
Come take me (Constantly twisting things I said)
Spent a lifetime
Finally found someone
Gave him all that I had
In love, 'til the dream was gone
An' I was losing myself
Out in the darkness, alone
But the night made me strong
And I learned to let go
Time mends the heart
You turn the page, somehow
Oh, there's no lookin' back
The hurtin's behind you now
Startin' over again
On a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Startin' over, startin' over
Memories haunt you
Feelings you won't forget
Learn to live a lesson in love
Walk away without regrets
Oh, never deny
The fear that your heart defends
Oh, find your way out
Just when you've reached the end
Startin' over again
No one's gonna count you out, when the heat is on
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Gotta come back and turn it around
Startin' over
Take another look inside
Where you always had the fight
Never dreamed of givin' up
Never, no lookin' back
Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Wondering where the hours go
Catching up on TV shows
It's not easy, heaven knows
When you're starting over
Knowing that the phone won't ring
Back to being lonely me
Funny how I seem to be
Always starting over
Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
Look at how I've always been starting over
So just win, the hurt is through
I'll see a face across a room
And wonder if it's still too soon
To be starting over
But like a fool I'll give my heart
Then the same old thing will start
I'll watch it slowly fall apart
Then I'll be starting over
Foolish me, I never meant
Almost heal then break again
He’s all right
He’s all wrong
He’s a player
He’s a dog
He’s my friend
He’s my foe
I just can’t leave him
I can’t go
I got my reasons
I got my pride
I got these kids
We got these ties
Had this love
Had these dreams
Falling apart at the seams
He’s my man when we’re at home
And it can’t hurt if I don’t know
All his secrets all his lies
I just keep pushing ‘em out my mind
I wish that everybody would stop judging
Pointing fingers its cutting
My heart is broken
And no better, feeling so bad
I gotta make decisions
I’m strong but who am I kidding
I’ll be okay
But this love is tearing me in half
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder
I’m afraid of starting over
He makes me feel like a child
He makes me happy when he smiles
He makes me sad
Makes me mad
Want to give him all I have
And I have tried to treat him good
Show support like I should
Did my part, he’s my heart
And I’ve been faithful from the start
He’s my man when we’re at home
And it can’t hurt if I don’t know
All his secrets all his lies
I just keep pushing ‘em out my mind
I wish that everybody would stop judging
Pointing fingers its cutting
My heart is broken
And no better, feeling so bad
I gotta make decisions
I’m strong but who am I kidding
I’ll be okay
But this love is tearing me in half
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder
I’m afraid of starting over
To save this life
We built together
We need another chance
It’s like my whole life
And my existence
He holds in his hands
Nobody wants to be the one breaking up
I’m down on my knees and praying for his love
I’m in love
I’m still in love
I just don’t think that it’s enough
I can feel it getting colder

Used to feel so fuckin' optimistic
Till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours would die
Told myself I'd never love another
All I want is friends
But when we met I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening I would watch the sunset
End another day
Let the nighttime wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination
Deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better
Much better
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I think it's a cold, cold world and I think we need to heat it
Light it up like gasoline when a match's thrown down in it
So go ahead and strike a match, a passionate heart is needed
So throw a torch up in the sky, 'cause we need someone to lead it
It only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
I know the fire's in your heart, so go ahead and show it
Go - light it up - start a fire
Burn - let it burn - even higher
Like a city on a hill, we can light up the horizon
For miles and miles and miles - you can see the smoke is risin'
So go ahead and light the sky like a bonfire in the night
Let the fire keep burnin' hard - it can never be too bright
It only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
Only took one summer and I lost my mind
Got a sinking feeling I'll be left behind
Because you lied to me and covered it up
There's a broken window in an empty room
Spent the morning waiting for the afternoon
And with everything it's never enough for you
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
I was blind to reason when you crossed the line
There was no use telling me to read the signs
Nothing there to me, I covered it up
It's a long way back from where we used to be
And somewhere I ran out of blood to bleed
And with everything it's never enough for you
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
Someday soon,
I'm gonna pull myself together,
Win or lose,
I'm starting over again..
Start this day,
Like any other day,
Fold my hands,
As I begin to pray,
Sometimes we,
Gotta throw the past aside,
Come what may,
I'm gonna open up my eyes,
To all my broken feelings,
Its the only road I've known,
I just wanna say to you..
Maybe I wont feel the pain,
When you leave me one day,
Maybe it wont be too late,
When you need me someday,
Someone take me away from the one who betrays,
Things wont ever be the same,
I'm starting over..
In days gone by, I was hiding from myself,
In all those lies, and the truth was hard to tell,
But I will try, to turn my life around,
I'll close my eyes so I can finally see..
The road to all my broken feelings,
It's the only one I've known,
I just wanna say to you..
Maybe I wont feel the pain,
When you leave me one day,
Maybe it wont be too late,
When you need me someday,
Someone take me away from the one who betrays,
Things wont ever be the same..
You were my heart,
You were my soul,
You were my breath,
Til I grow old,
You were my blood,
You were my bones,
How could you ever leave me alone,
Maybe I wont feel the pain,
When you leave me one day,
Maybe it wont be too late,
When you need me someday,
Someone take me away from the one who betrays,
Things wont ever be the same..
I just wanna say to you..
Maybe I wont feel the pain,
When you leave me one day,
Maybe it wont be too late,
When you need me someday,
Someone take me away from the one who betrays,
Yeah;
Come on;
Do you remember,
What we used to have?
As if all our dreams were possible;
All that is destined,
Was you and I;
But distance,
Has torn us apart;
Forgive me,
For everything I've done wrong,
Lead me back to where my heart belongs;
Can we start again,
Go back in time to where we started;
Can we start again,
What we have can't be discarded;
Do you remember,
The promises we made?
But somehow we have lost our way,
Take me back,
To where our heart belongs;
Forever grateful everyday;
I know,
That you doubt my words;
I swear,
There will never be regrets;
Can we start again,
We thought love was everlasting;
Can we start again,
What we had just can't be wasted;
Silence that were broken,
And words,
That can't be taken back;
But you mean so much more to me,
Than anything,
Anything I have ever known;
And this is the hope for tomorrow;
That today you will return;
Can we start again,
Go back in time to where we started;
Can we start again,
What we had can't be discarded;
Can we start again,
Do you remember?
Can we start again,
Can we start again,
Starting today
I'm not gonna waste another moment
Even if I had had the chance before
I would have blown it
But you took me by surprise
And you caught me just in time
Everyday
You give me reason not to walk away
I'll stop believing that the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me
Starting Today
I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow
I'll wash away
All this fear that's left me feeling hollow
'Cause you make me wanna try
And you caught me just in time
Everyday
You give me reason not to walk away
I've stopped believing
I should run like crazy
'Cause if I did you'd chase me anyway
I should've told you so many times
But I shied away
Somehow you always seem to
Be there making it easy
And you give me reason to stay everyday
Ooh everyday, everyday
I've stopped believing
I should run like crazy
'Cause if I did you'd chase me anyway
You give me reason not to walk away
I've stopped believing
That the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me
Starting today
I was supposed to get
Get over you by now
It's been a year or so
And I just don't know how
Still dealing with this pain
Still living on my own
Still looking back in vain
Still wondering where to go
Things got so crazy then
I know I hurt you so
If I could turn the wheel
I'd go another road
You changed your number now
You're just forever gone
No way to contact you
So I will sing this song
And I won't mind
If you meet me on the other side
We could be closer than we think we are
To starting over again
To starting over again
I know I really messed
I really messed you up
While you were looking down
Drank from another cup
Got so wrapped up in me
That when I turned around
I let you slip away
I barely made a sound
I hope you learn to give
Give someone else a try
If I could go back there
I'd never say goodbye
And I won't mind
If you meet me on the other side
We could be closer than we think we are
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
And I won't mind
If you meet me on the other side
We could be closer than we think we are
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
To starting over again
I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do.
I'm starting from scratch and it begins with you.
Everything I ever loved was so fake.
This right here is my only escape.
I'm shutting the door. I'm closing you out.
Scum like you can bother no more.
The line has been drawn. My head's on straight.
For your destruction I can't wait.
I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do.
I'm starting from scratch and it begins with you.
Everything I ever loved was so fake.
Your legs are at the door
I'm feeling good and I want more
But you've got one thing on your mind
It's leaving everything behind
And I feel like starting over
More now, as I'm older
Come on now, come over to me
Drop your skirt down past your knees
If this is the last we ever meet
Let's go out in style and see
If you feel like starting over
Or you'll look back when you're older
At times we had together
And realize there was nothing better
And I feel like starting over
More now, as I'm older
Maybe some of that was a bit too much
It's just that we won't stay in touch
So come on baby, come over to me
1,2, Now...
Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of
Then I threw them all away, for two Styrofoam cups
The irony - everyone will think that "he lied to me."
Made my sobriety so public there's no fucking privacy
If I don't talk about it than I carry a date
08/10/08 - then that was Ben changed
And everyone that put me in some box is ashamed
That I never was - just a false prophet that never came
And will they think that everything that I've written has all been fake?
Or will I just take my slip to the grave?
What the fuck are my parents gonna say?
The success story that got his life together and changed
And you know, what pain looks like
When you tell your dad you relapsed and look directly into his face
The seat on your shoulders, the CD leave heavy weight
Haven't seen tears like this on my girl in a while
The trust that I once built has been betrayed
But I'd rather live tellin' the truth than be judged for my mistakes
Than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
I guess, I gotta get this on the page
Feelin', sick and helpless
Lost the compass where self is
I know what I've gotta do, and I can't help it
One day at a time is what they tell us
Now I've gotta find a way to tell them...
God help him...
We fell, so hard
Now we gotta get back what we lost
Lost
I thought you'd go
But you were with me all along
Along
And every kid that came up to me
And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean
Now look at me - a couple days sober
I'm fighting demons
Back of that meeting on the East Side, shakin' tweakin'
Hope that they don't see it
Hope that no one is lookin'
That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
Just posted in the back with my hands crossed, shook-en
If they call on me I'm passin' it, they talk to me I'm bookin'
Out that door
But before
I can make it
Somebody stops me and says "Are you Macklemore?
"Maybe this isn't the place or time, I just wanted to say that...
If it wasn't for 'Otherside' I wouldn't have made it..."
I just looked down at the ground and say "Thank you."
She tells me she has 9 months and that she's so grateful
Tears in her eyes lookin' like she's gonna cry, fuck
I barely got forty-eight hours, treated like I'm some wise monk
I want to tell her I relapsed, but I can't
I just shake her hand and tell her "Congrats"
Get back to my car, and I think I'm trippin', yeah
Cause God wrote 'Otherside', that pen was in my hand
I'm just a flawed man - Man, I fucked up...
Like so many others, I just never thought I would
I never thought I would
Didn't pick up the book
Doin' it by myself didn't turn out that good
If I can be an example of gettin' sober
Then I can be an example of startin' over
If I can be an example of gettin' sober
Then I can be an example of startin' over
We fell, so hard
Now we gotta get back what we lost
Lost
I thought you'd go
But you were with me all along
Clouds are gathering, closing in it seems
Why can't I move?
You circled overhead with Your love instead
Beckoning
Now hope has found me, I am not alone
Now hope has found me, I am not disowned
And when I think it's over, I am not alone
Oh, when you think it's over, you can start it over
You, Your peace within my soul
Mercy You have shown though trials come
You, You're calling me to climb
Up this mountain side, here I go, here I go
Now hope has found me, I am not alone
Now hope has found me, I am not disowned
And when I think it's over, I am not alone
Oh, when you think it's over, you can start it over, yeah
You can start it over, oh, you can start it over, oh
You calling me back home
It's Your voice I know, beckoning, oh, no
Now hope has found me, I am not alone
Now hope has found me and, I am not disowned
When I think it's over, I am not alone
Oh, when you think it's over, oh when you think it's over
I gotta keep running "I'm starting over"
I do for fun and "I'm starting over"
I'm low and I love it "I'm starting over"
Gotta keep gunnin' "I'm starting over"
We'll its just a wasted year
I'm doing my time
If things don't go right I'll drink some more beer
And I'll blow I blow out my mind
Well I'm lucid "I'm starting over"
Stop acting stupid "I'm starting over"
Where the fuck is my cupid "I'm starting over"
Gotta stop juicin' "I'm starting over"
We'll its just a wasted year
I'm doing my time
If things don't go right I'll drink some more beer
And things will be fine
My wounds wont stop oozing "I'm starting over"
Tired of boozing "I'm starting over"
Gotta stop choosin' "I'm starting over"
Used to feel so fucking optimistic till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours could die
Told myself, I'd never love another all I want is friends
But when we met, I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening, I would watch the sunset end another day
Let the night time wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better, much better?
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
It's been a long time since I've heard your voice
Can you hear
Speech equipped to judge
I've said a lot of things
But words don't flow through me
like I'd like them to
I'm on a search for forgiveness has been waiting
It's about time someone said something
To break the ice
Let's start this over
If I could change anything at all
I'd want you here with me tonight
I'd take back those things that I said
Things will never be the same
There's an uneasy silence
I've ruined a good thing
Just think back
Do you see us starting over?
If I could change anything at all
I'd want you here with me tonight
I'd take back those things that I said
You're not making things any easier
It's about time someone made an effort
In the end,
Lets see what happens
And in the end
Well, let's see what happens
If I could change anything at all
I'd want you here with me tonight
I'd take back those things that I said
[Chorus]
Lets start this over to give me time
To clean up the pain that I've left behind
[Verse 1]
Today the memories
They run from me
I'm gone
Tonight the photographs
Can't bring this back
You're gone
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Today, my words aren't enough
They were never enough
For you
Tonight I am counting sheep
And losing sleep
For you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Flat on my back
Soak up the sun
Counting from zero up to one
And I like it, I like it
Can't understand a word he said
I'm humming along radiohead
But I like it, I like it
I'm floating away
On wings that I borrowed
I'm leaving today
Come back tomorrow
When I'm starting over
Cleaning the slate
And morning tea
High in the clouds above the seas
Is where I'll find it, I'll find it
Calling the race is much too soon
It's not int the start but follow through
And I'll find it, I'll find it
If seeing is believeing I would never make it alone
My heart is everything but bursting with every single feeling I feel tonight because something just ain’t right. Because I’ve come to find there’s no peace of mind without You by my side. I’ve been so afraid to make mistakes and break Your heart. What does it take to make me walk away from everything, everything that I know and hold so closely? So if all of this is ending, bring a new beginning so much sweeter still. I’m laying down my will. Because I know not what to do, but my eyes are fixed on You, and only You. I’m not afraid to leave this place and face these fears. Please etch your words upon my heart and keep me ever closer to You.
Oh, The difference seeing my feelings in a different light
I want a better way
Some sunny day
But you're so hard
and I'm so far
You know that every time
That you drop a line
cause you're so hard
and I'm so far
Your kind of love is suicide,
I'm holding on, never
So, I'm taking back whats mine
I'm Starting Over
Starting Over
I'm Starting Over
Starting Over
Yeah
I've heard so many times
How love is blind
Now, It's so wrong
Yeah, it's so right
I've made you out to be
My everything
But you're so cold
On the inside
You've tried to leave me
High and dry
I'm holding on, never
So, I'm taking back what's mine
I'm starting over
Starting Over
I'm Starting Over
Starting Over
Yeah
I'm seeing love in a different light
I get what I can
and I'm free to ride
This is now my time
I'm alone in your mind
Starting over
Starting over
I'm Starting Over
Starting Over
Over and over
Yes I'm Over
(Seeing love in a different light)
Starting over
(Seeing love in a different light)
Starting Over
You want me
You only want me when you cannot get me
You got me when you had the chance to know me
Well I don't think you knew what you want
It makes sense
The dress you're wearing's not yet for next season
And when the right time comes I'll be the fool again
'Cause you're giving it again to me
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over right now
I'll be under cover
You'll start to discover
The mourning is over
Freedom
Freedom's what you want and what you said to me
Freedom's what you get from leaving me
You left me with a hole in my wall
Will I
Will I be just a bleep in your existence?
Or am I just a subject for letting you go
You're letting me go you'll come as you may
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over right now
I'll be under cover
You'll start to discover
The mourning is over
What comes around
What goes around
This time I won't be going down
I'm going to get

I'm going to get

I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over right now
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over
I'll be starting over right now
Now you're going to deal with it
Yeah, now you're going to deal with it
One, two now, that's three plus years, I was so proud of.
And I threw 'em all away for 2 styrofoam cups.
The irony: everyone will think that he lied to me;
made my sobriety so public there's no fucking privacy.
If I don't talk about it then I carry a date:
a 08-10-08, that now has been changed.
and when they put me in some box as a saint
that I never was, it's the false prophet that never came.
And will they think that everything that I written has all been fake
Or will I'll just take my slip to the grave
Uh, what the fuck are my parents gonna say?
The success story that got his life together and changed
And you know what pain looks like
When you tell your dad to relapse then look him directly into his face.
The seat on your shoulder's the seemingly heavy weight
I haven't seen tears like this on my girl
In a while, the trust that I once built's been betrayed.
But I'd rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes
Then falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
I guess I gotta get this on the page.
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is.
I know what I gotta do and I can't help it.
One day at a time is what they tell us.
Now I gotta find a way to tell them.
God help ‘em
One day at a time is what they tell us
Now I gotta find a way to tell them
[Hook]
We fell so hard
Now we gotta get back what we lost. lost.
I felt you'd go
But you were with me all along. along.
And every kid that came up to me
And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean
Now look at me, a couple days sober
I'm fighting demons
Back of that meeting on the east side
Shaking tweakin', hope that they don't see it
Hope that no one is looking
That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken
If they call on me I'm passing, if they talk to me I'm booking out that door
But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore?
Maybe this isn't the place or time
I just wanted to say that if it wasn't for other side I wouldn't have made it
I just look down at the ground and say thank you
She tells me she has 9 months and that she's so grateful
Tears in her eyes, looking like she's gonna cry. fuck!
I barely got 48 hours, treated like I'm some wise monk
I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can't
I just shake her hand and tell her congrats
Get back to my car and I think I'm tripping yea
Cuz God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand
I'm just a flawed man, man I fucked up up
Like so many others I just never thought I would
I never thought I would, didn't pick up the book
Doin' it by myself, didn't turn out that good
If I can be an example of getting sober
Then I can be an example of starting over
If I can be an example of getting sober
Then I can be an example of starting over
We fell so hard
Now we gotta get back what we lost. lost.
I felt you'd go
But you were with me all along. along.
We fell so hard
It will be alright
Starting over
It will kill me
Bring me back to times we had
It's far too late
And I cannot wait any longer
And it's killing me
It's been one dark year
And you grow older, older, older
And I hope I get closer,
Wiser,
And stronger,
But I'll see you soon
One day you will find
You were always on my mind
And I think of you
I'll cross a burning bridge
And I'll always be with you
It will be alright
The pieces come together
And they form a perfect picture
I will win this fight
I'll cross the seven seas
And you'll always be with me
Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright
Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright
Alright
Heyy-ah
In my dreams
I see her face
She looks at me
That's as close as they will let me be
Just a memory
It will turn real
Eventually
I don't care what they do
'Cause nothing can stop me
Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright
Baby don't cry tonight
My only sin was saying goodbye
All those times
I drove away and cried
And lied
And said I'd be alright
Starting over
It will kill me
INTRO/VERSE
My heart dangles from the thinnest lines
So tell me where to go from here
Let's make one thing clear, I'm gonna take what's mine
No matter what the circumstance it's always worth the many chances, come on
So come on
VERSE
I've tried hard through the past year and now
To come up with excuses on why I always do this to myself
Here comes another let down
And I know that you've been here from the start
You think your words will help, but they've helped us fall apart
Your words are nothing more than a poison to my heart
PRECHORUS
So let's breathe in slower
My mind is running circles and I see no escape
My weakness is showing now
CHORUS
Oh you'll never win
Pick yourself up and start it over again
You're always hearing them
With their so called truths
This story will never end
VERSE
So here it goes again
I'm slipping through the cracks
From all the memories I once lived for
My world has changed again
I'm fitting to the footprints on everything that's made me a man
PRECHORUS
Breathe in slower
My mind is running circles and I see no escape
My weakness is showing
CHORUS (x2)
Oh you'll never win
Pick yourself up and start it over again
You're always hearing them
With their so called truths
Your story will never end
BRIDGE
With all I love
Oh I've seen enough
CHORUS
Oh you'll never win
Pick yourself up and start it over
You're always hearing them
With their so called truths
This story will never end
Left you there in the moon
To slip away with the sun light
Its gonna get better soon
And everything will be alright
So tear it off of your skin
And let it heal in the open
Start all over again
I wasn't who you were hoping for
But every day is a new day
Its sure as the stars in the sky
And every waking moment
We're starting over
Call you out of the blue
Messing with your emotions
I can't believe that it's true
I'm still as deep as the ocean
But every day is a new day
Its sure as the stars in the sky
And every waking moment
We're starting over
But every day is a new day
Its sure as the stars in the sky
Believing in a new way
Is hard as the days that go by
And every waking moment
We're starting over
Left you there in the moon
To slip away with the sunlight
Its gonna get better soon
And everything will be alright
Time standing still
In this place on a dark day
Your soul is gone
I can't live without you
Chorus
My life won't be the same
I know it's gonna change
I lost a piece of my heart
I've got to start all over again
I close my eyes
I see your face and I feel your breath
I stare to the sky
I never did my goodbye
Chorus 2x
I wonder where you are
I wonder why I'm here
Please tell me Lord you know it
Oh, my God, why not take me instead
Starting over again, I'm so alone
Got to face your fear
Lying on the floor
Step into nothing
What the hell am I here for?
So come on and play
Stab me in the heart
So much of this time was wasted ripping me apart
We are the hurt inside your head
Lost in the valley of all that's dead
Constantly twisting things I say
Happiness is falling
Rain is day
It's starting over, starting over.
Can't stand it's over, God is gonna take me out
My time is over, This time is over.
Why is this over?
God is gonna take me out
(God is gonna take me out)
Crawling on the floor all around this space
Talking to myself
Why is this thing I've got to face?
Walking through a door
Has it been a waste?
Going on and on thinking I could find my place
We are the hurt inside your head
Lost in the valley of all that's dead
Constantly twisting things I say
Happiness is falling
Rain is day
It's starting over, starting over
Can't stand it's over, God is gonna take me out
My time is over, This time is over
Why is this over?
God is gonna take me out
(God is gonna take me out)
You can't see
I'm torn away from you and everything that's close to me
I can not face the truth
It's nothing that I believe
Just run away from me
Thinking you're free from me
I don't know what's been taken
Can't find out, can't find out
Something inside is missing
What am I all about
I've been too scared to face it
Nothing that I can do
Watching it all start slipping
Guess my time's running out
Running out
Everything has been changing
Nothing good is around
Seems like it's been forever
Since when I knew myself
How did I let this happen
It's too late, now I'm through
I guess I'm finally breaking
This is me going down
Going down
Just want it back
My life again
Gotta find a way to start it over, yeah
Will I make it through
Don't know what to do
Finally hit the bottom but it's not the end
No, no
All I can feel is sadness
Can't get out, can't get out
Everyday is a battle
Think it's time for some help
Feels like everything I've done
Isn't right, isn't true
About to give it all up
This is me going down
Going down
Just want it back
My life again
Gotta find a way to start it over, yeah
Will I make it through
Don't know what to do
Finally hit the bottom but it's not the end
No, no
I'm afraid of what's coming (coming)
I don't know how much more I can take, no, no
I'm afraid the end's coming (coming)
Everything feels so wrong
Just want it back
My life again
Gotta find a way to start it over, yeah
Will I make it through
Don't know what to do
Finally hit the bottom but it's not the end
No, no
Just want it back
My life again
Gotta find a way to start it over, yeah
Will I make it through
Don't know what to do
I finally hit the bottom but it's not the end
No, no
Just want it back
My life again
Gotta find a way to start it over, yeah
Will I make it through
Don't know what to do
Finally hit the bottom but it's not the end
