Starting Over

[Pre-Chorus]
Years of growing side by side
Sanding edges, softening pride
Two imperfect souls aligned
Now I’m one, left behind

[Chorus]
Starting over feels like falling
With no ground beneath my feet
Every past and every future
Somehow pulling back at me
Is it safer just to stay here
In the shadow of what was?
Or take a step into the unknown
And risk this heart again for love?

[Verse 2]
I’ve grown older, set in ways
Comfort found in what I knew
How do I find someone out there
Who’s been shaped by life like you?
Someone steady, someone worn
With their own scars they don’t hide
Two lives full of history
Trying somehow to collide

[Pre-Chorus]
No more “us” to lean into
No more “we” to see me through
Just a road I didn’t choose
And a heart I can’t refuse

[Chorus]
Starting over feels like falling
With no ground beneath my feet
Every past and every future
Somehow pulling back at me
Is it safer just to stay here
Where no one can compare?
Or take a chance on something new
And find out who is there?

[Bridge]
Fear is loud at this stage of life
Whispers, “Don’t you dare”
Says, “The best has come and gone
Why risk what isn’t there?”
But love was never certain
It was always wild and free
And maybe there’s still something
Out there waiting for me

[Breakdown]
The first step takes forever
Leaves you open, stripped and bare
But it might be where a new life starts
If I can meet it there

[Final Chorus]
Starting over still feels heavy
But I feel it in my chest
That a heart was made for loving
And it never settles less
‘Cause in the end, through all the scars
Through every loss we rise above
There’s nothing stronger in this life
Than giving in to love

[Outro]
So I’ll take one step forward
Though I’m afraid of what may come
‘Cause being loved and loving someone
Is still worth what it becomes

Verse 1] What’s a man supposed to do When love was real and now it’s gone A lifetime built in quiet days Now every memory feels too strong We had our rhythm, we had our way Worn-in hearts that learned to bend Now I’m standing in the silence Where forever used to live [Pre-Chorus] Years of growing side by side Sanding edges, softening pride Two imperfect souls aligned Now I’m one, left behind [Chorus] Starting over feels like falling With no ground beneath my feet Every past and every future Somehow pulling back at me Is it safer just to stay here In the shadow of what was? Or take a step into the unknown And risk this heart again for love? [Verse 2] I’ve grown older, set in ways Comfort found in what I knew How do I find someone out there Who’s been shaped by life like you? Someone steady, someone worn With their own scars they don’t hide Two lives full of history Trying somehow to collide [Pre-Chorus] No more “us” to lean into No more “we” to see me through Just a road I didn’t choose And a heart I can’t refuse [Chorus] Starting over feels like falling With no ground beneath my feet Every past and every future Somehow pulling back at me Is it safer just to stay here Where no one can compare? Or take a chance on something new And find out who is there? [Bridge] Fear is loud at this stage of life Whispers, “Don’t you dare” Says, “The best has come and gone Why risk what isn’t there?” But love was never certain It was always wild and free And maybe there’s still something Out there waiting for me [Breakdown] The first step takes forever Leaves you open, stripped and bare But it might be where a new life starts If I can meet it there [Final Chorus] Starting over still feels heavy But I feel it in my chest That a heart was made for loving And it never settles less ‘Cause in the end, through all the scars Through every loss we rise above There’s nothing stronger in this life Than giving in to love [Outro] So I’ll take one step forward Though I’m afraid of what may come ‘Cause being loved and loving someone Is still worth what it becomes
