STARTING OVER
BY: POET
I NEVER KNEW I COULD FEEL LIKE THIS AGAIN
FOR SOME REASON IM THINKING THIS HAS TO BE A SIN
LEARNING TO LIVE ALONE
PUT OUT THE LIGHT IN ME WHICH NEVER SHOWN
BROKEN AND BRUISED
AND WISHING TO DIE
HELL SOMETIMES ID EVEN GET HIGH
TO TRY AND ESCAPE THE PRESSURES OF LIFE
BUT VERY SOON I LEARNED I COULDNT HIDE
FROM WHAT I REALLY AM
A PERSON WHO ACTUALLY GIVES A DAMN
I TOOK A GAMBLE WITH A GIRL I DIDNT KNOW
WITH NO EXPERIENCE TO SHOW
I OPENED UP MY HEART WHICH HAD
BEEN SEALED AWAY TO KEEP FROM GETTING HURT
AND TURNED MY BACK ON AN OLD FRIEND
WHOS ACTIONS WILL LAND HIM IN THE DIRT
I CANT BE APART OF THAT NO MORE
BEING HIS FRIEND WAS MORE LIKE A CHORE
DAMN HE ACTUALLY ACTED LIKE A WHORE
UNABLE TO TURN A BLIND EYE ONCE MORE
I TOOK A STAND TO SAVE A GIRL
WHO TOOK HIS HAND
PROTECTING HER WITH ALL MY MIGHT
REINVOKED THAT LIGHT
AND GAVE ME BACK MY SIGHT
I DIDNT KNOW I WAS GOING TO FALL FOR HER
UNABLE TO TURN AWAY
AND WALK OFF LIKE I ONCE DID
WHEN I WAS JUST A KID
JUST ONE LOOK AT HER AND I FEEL
LIKE IM HYPNOTIZED
IM HER SUPERMAN
AND SHES MY KRPTONITE
SHE MAKES ME LAUGH LIKE I NEVER HAD BEFORE
AND GIVES ME HOPE FOR THIS FUTURE OF MINE
MAYBE NOW ILL BE ABLE TO SHINE
HAUNTED BY MY PAST
OF FAILURE
AND NOT SURE OF HOW TO TELL HER
THAT I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL IM DOING
I JUST KNOW WHAT IM PURSUING
DREAMING OF ONE DAY OF TAKING HER HAND
AND HOLDING HER CLOSE
TELLING HER THAT I WONT BETRAY HER
AND THAT I WONT BE A TRAITOR
TO THIS LOVE I THINK I FEEL
ITS JUST IN ITS INFANT STAGE
YET IT WONT BE CAGED
AND LOCKED AWAY
UNABLE TO KEEP MY MOUTH CLOSED
AND TELLING HER HOW I FEEL
AND SHES GOT MY HEART ALL IN A THRILL
CRAVING THE LOVE I ONCE DENIED IT
THIS TIME IM NOT EVEN GOING TO FIGHT IT
I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT YOU
AND ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOUVE BEEN THROUGH
BUT IM WILLING TO LISTEN AND STAND BESIDE YOU
IM LOOKING FOR LOVE AND
MAYBE I SEE THAT IN YOU
I KNOW THIS MIGHT BREAK ME
AND I KNOW THIS MIGHT MAKE ME CRY
BUT WITH YOU BY MY SIDE
I FEEL LIKE I CAN FLY
MAYBE THIS IS A DREAM
BUT IF IT IS I DONT WANT TO WAKE UP
IM PRAYING TO GOD AND ASKING HIM
IF ANYTHING ABOVE ALL ELSE
FORGET ABOUT ME JUST KEEP HER HAPPY
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN
I FAILED ONCE TO FOLLOW MY HEART
AND MAYBE IM JUST SETTING MYSELF UP FOR
HEART ACHE
BUT I DONT CARE FOR HEAVENS SAKE
THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE KEEPS
THIS FLICKERING CANDLE OF HOPE ALIVE
MESSING WITH MY MIND AND MAKING IT HARD TO DECIDE
BUT I THINK I CAME TO A DECISION
AND IM ASKING FOR YOUR HAND AND YOUR LOVE
EVEN IF I HAVE TO SWIM AROUND THE WORLD
ID DO IT WITHOUT THOUGHT
CAUSE MY HEART, YOU CAUGHT
CALL ME A FOOL FOR LOVING YOU IF YOU WANT
BUT I DO ILL EVEN DROP MY WHOLE CREW
JUST FOR YOU.
FRIENDS COME AND GO BUT LOVE LASTS A LIFE TIME
AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE WE CAN BUILD A LIFE TOGETHER
IM A BLANK BOOK READY FOR SOMEONE TO WRITE IN ME
TO OPEN ME UP AND FINALLY SET ME FREE
SO TAKE MY HAND BEAUTIFUL
AND LET US WANDER THIS LAND
TOGETHER.
IM PRAYING YOU FEEL THE SAME AS I DO
I USED TO THINK I HAD ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
TO BECOME THE MAN I WANTED TO BE
TO ROAM THIS WORLD
AND BE FREE
BUT I REALIZE THATS JUST A FANTASY
BUT WITH YOU I CAN NOW SEE
WHICH ROAD I HAVE TO TAKE TO
BE THE MAN I HAVE TO BE
SO TAKE A CHANCE AND TAKE MY HAND
AND WELL SEE
ALL MY FRIENDS CALL ME BLIND
TO FALL FOR A GIRL
IVE NEVER SEEN
BUT I KNOW DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART
THERES A CHANCE
THE SEED OF LOVE HAS BEEN PLANTED
WITH JUST A GLANCE
I KNOW IF WE FALL FOR EACH OTHER
THERE WILL BE BATTLES FOR EACH
OF US
BUT AS LONG AS WE HAVE TRUST
I KNOW WELL MAKE IT THROUGH
AS LONG AS WERE TRUE
BECAUSE LOVE IS A GAME OF TRUST
AND MOST DONT MAKE IT THROUGH
BUT I KNOW WELL MAKE IT THROUGH
TO THE POINT WHERE I SAY "I DO"
AND THE FUNNY THING ABOUT ALL THIS
I DID THIS WITHOUT THINKING
WITHOUT BLINKING
JUST TOOK A JUMP AND I FOUND YOU
MAYBE ITS FATE
WHO KNOWS MAYBE IM TO LATE
FOR WHAT THAT MAN DID TO YOU
MAKES YOU THINK THAT NO MAN IS TRUE
AND THAT KINDA MAKES ME BLUE
I KNOW YOURE A WILD GIRL
LEAVING YOUR MARK ON ALL THE DANCE FLOORS
I KINDA FEEL LIKE IM IN D-DAY WITH YOU
JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT ASHORE
AND LOVING IT WHEN YOU SAY FO SHO
JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU MAKES ME SMILE
AND I HAVENT DONE THAT IN QUITE AWHILE
YOU BRING THE BEST OUT OF ME
AND I KNOW YOUR HURT
BUT WHY CANT YOU SEE
IM NOT LIKE HIM
THERES NO NEED TO BUILD THE WALLS AROUND YOUR HEART
EVEN IF YOU DID BUILD THEM ID SCALE THEM IN ONE LEAP
LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
BRINGING YOUR HEART THE FIGHT
I KNOW I WORRY TO MUCH ABOUT YOU
AND YOU DONT LIKE IT
BUT JUST HEARING ABOUT SOMEONE SAYING
SOMETHING BAD ABOUT YOU
SENDS ME INTO A FIT
MAKES ME WANT TO FIGHT
YEAH I KNOW THATS NOT RIGHT
BUT YOU AND ME WERE TIGHT
SO IM HEADING OUT TO BATTLE
EVEN IF I GET MY SOFT PLACE KICKED
AND EVEN IF IM OUTNUMBERED
I KNOW YOULL STAND BESIDE ME
AND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
WELL BE FREE
JUST LIKE THE EAGLES WHO FLY ABOVE
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
THIS CHRISTMAS IM SENDING YOU ALL MY LOVE
I KNOW THIS WILL BREAK ME
I KNOW THIS WILL MAKE ME CRY
BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND
AND HOPEFULLY YOUR LOVE ILL FIND
