Starting Over

When I sold off all of the things we bought together

All of our dreams, and all of our old college sweaters

And I brought out all of our skeletons in the closet

Pointed fingers at your trauma and me, the child of an alcoholic

And I don't know if it even helped me with the closure

But I suppose I'm getting closer

Starting over

Down in my heart, I tried to find some direction

Filling up my head with another antidepressant

And it ripped me up more than I'd care to admit it

I looked you in the eyes, and I told you, "You'd regret it"

And I don't know if these songs help me getting over

Or if I'm just getting older

I'm getting older

And I fought God, and I made a deal with the heavens

Forgive myself meant that I'd have to accept it

And I got a new spot, and I thought that it would fix it

And if I'm being honest, I wish that you were in it

When I look back now, it's not with the anger

Just sad as hell 'cause you're a stranger

You're a stranger

So lay down your armor

Surrender in honor

You can be free when you leave it behind

Try being stronger

Held on for longer

You can be free when you leave it behind

You can be free when you leave it behind

I thought I'd write you a letter

Someday, things will get better

I know it feels like forever

When you get to the end

You'll just start over again
