Start Again

I was most likely not to want the spotlight

I just wished to be seen as unique

It was easier to say

That somehow you got in the way

Than simply find a way to speak to you

I was most likely not to have the courage

To make a move or offer up a hand

I had never claimed my light

I stayed small and out of sight

But today, I understand

That I can start again

Have a change of heart

Turn around

And let my story start on an empty page

Let's reset the stage for something new

Where there's room for both me and you

I never got my kind of spotlight

All along, I'd have liked to be you

Our resentment was misplaced

Though the past can't be erased

There is no more time to waste

From now on, what we should do

Is start again

Let each other in

Turn around and let our tale begin on an empty page

Let's reset the stage for something new

No more hiding for me and you

Let's go and take up some room

Let's cut each other some slack

Let's not let others assume

We can be stuck in the back

Let's make our choices our own

Let's not confront things alone

Our story started long ago

But now we truly can grow

And start again

Let each other in

Turn around and let our tale begin on an empty page

Let's reset the stage for something new

Where we're the most likely not to let others define us

And there's friendship between me and you

Ooh

Ooh
