Start From Skratch

It seems I've fallen short of everything that I have felt inside

From empty promises to discontent and broken compromise

Now looking back I may have said I had the answers to it all

But after digging deeper, regret seems to be my downfall

Another episode in the never-ending consequence of boy meets girl

and love and the apple of their punishment

A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways,

in hopes to find another one someday

And now I've found the secret to the broken-hearted

Take a stand and I'll guide you to the very end

I've only found myself here a million times or more

Enough to shed some light on what's in store

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I've held my hopes and dreams so very tight

And though my heart's in transit, and this time it's branded,

it's the simplest things that I miss inside

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I've held my hopes and dreams so very tight

We'll stay just where we are, shout out from miles afar, screaming…

I guess I'm just trying too hard

I've sold friends and traded them for tears

I gave up hope when nothing looked so clear

I can't repeat the past, nor can I make it last

But all I wish tonight is that I'll get this right

Another episode in the never-ending consequence of boy meets girl

and love and the apple of their punishment

A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways,

only knowing things are never gonna' change
