about

you can start over

lyrics

oh, I try so very hard
but the pieces, they're too tight
I can't put together
what won't ever fit right
my fingernails break
and my knuckles bleed
trying to get you all the things that you need

oh I try and I try and I try and then
I fail and I fail it seems time again
just to get up to get up and go again

but by then my knees buckle
and my back, it aches
I don't know how much more of your love I can take
there's so much darkness
and not enough light
as I push and I push
and you don't even fight

oh I cry and I cry and I cry and then
I forgive you forgive you time again
just to get up to get up and go again

maybe I gotta start over again
to clear my head of your influence
all of those good memories of you
just make me want to give in

but I know that my time
is worth much more than this
I can't give it all away
for your measly kiss
my momma taught me
about love and life
and I'm gonna work now
just to make myself right

oh I'm leaving this time for good I know
don't even bother lookin' back cause I’m out the door
I'm ‘bout to start over again

and I won't miss your back-pedaling
trust stealing, no
