Starting Over

"Starting Over"
Sherri Laurier
* * *

I cried when silent raindrops fell -
And here, my weeping words will tell…

You turned to another and away from me -
And left me in a desperate misery…

I allow sequential scars on my heart
Because I’ve loved you so from the start…

Over and over I let you back in -
But loving you is my greatest sin…


CHORUS:
I ask myself why -
I feel awkward & shy -
And I hate starting over. Again.


Time moves me from day to day -
But I still miss you in every way.

Friends say you’re no good -
But I’d be with you if I could.

Strive as I may to carry on -
The life I once knew is truly gone…

Sitting alone on a lonely bar stool -
Sitting alone, once more the fool…


CHORUS:
I ask myself why -
I feel awkward & shy -
And I hate starting over. Again.

{Repeat chorus & fade}
