Barrett Kolt - Right Back Where I Started

I don’t like being jaded, But the passion’s left my hands. Can’t remember the last time I believed in a second chance. Romantic nights feel like fiction, Too far gone to even dream. I wait for you like habit now But I know what silence means. ‘Cause I’m right back where I started, And the world keeps movin’ on. But I swear I’m standing still Just watchin’ it all go wrong. Can’t believe it meant nothin’ to you, But deep down, I should’ve known. You left my letters unopened, Unread and alone. Guess I let your smile fool me Thought it meant more than it did. Now I trace your name in memory Like it’s carved into my ribs. I’m right back where I started, And the world keeps rollin’ by. But I swear I’m standin’ still Under this heavy sky. Too cynical to be this hopeless, Too tired to chase what fades. I hold onto where you used to sleep… But there’s someone else there these days. And still, this bed feels empty. Still, your ghost knows where to lie. Still, I whisper goodnight to nothing Under a stranger’s sigh. I’m right back where I started, And the world keeps movin’ fast. But I’m stuck inside the stillness Of a love that couldn’t last. Right back where I started… (I’m still standin’…) Right back where I started… (I’m still standin’…)
