Lyrics

I start over

Beginning anew

I start from scratch

Commencing from the very beginning

After giving all I have and all I am

After dedicating everything I possess and all that defines me

Just to get here to square one

Only to return to the starting point


I paint over

I cover up, conceal

I brush aside

I discard, ignore

I toughen up

I become stronger and more resilient

though you taught me to not even try

Despite your teachings that discourage even attempting

Just to get here to square one

To only end up back at square one


You can't wish this away

You cannot eliminate this situation through mere wishing

Don't throw your pennies away

Don't waste your small amounts of money or effort


Something's over

Something has concluded

Yet nothing's new

However, nothing is different

I've been here too

I've been in this place before

I've seen this view through different eyes

I've perceived this same sight from different perspectives

Now I'm watching you from square one

Now I'm observing you from the starting point


You can't wish this away

You cannot make this disappear through wishing

Don't throw your pennies away

Don't waste your resources or efforts


I start over

I begin again

I start from scratch

I restart completely from square one

After giving all I have and all I am

Despite having given my all
