Starting Over
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These days I feel outnumbered
I can never get ahead
Always on the outside
Forever looking in
I'm so ashamed of who I am (I am)
I try to pass the blame
Too afraid to face the truth
I push everyone away
Hollow, let me be whole again
Empty, drowning in my regret
Hollow, let me be whole again
Can I, can I run from my past?
Let go and start again?
All I wanted was to feel alive (feel alive)
But I don't think that I can win this fight
Cut me free from my misery
These days feel like they're on repeat
I will never get ahead
Stuck in my own ways
I'm so used to giving in
Can I be a better man
And learn to live again?
I'd like to think I'm moving on
But a part of me is still holding on
To all of my nightmares
A never ending nightmare
Can I, can I run from my past?
Let go and start again?
All I wanted was to feel alive (feel alive)
But I don't think that I can win this fight
Cut me free from my misery
Will I ever be anything
Other than my own worst enemy?
I keep searching for answers
What will it take to set me free?
Will I ever be anything
Other than my own worst enemy?
Change, I can change
Or am I better off this way? (Better off this way)
Show me how to get through another day
Can this be what I need (what I need)
To start over, to start over?
