Starting over again
Isn’t easy to do,
It takes a long time
To see your way through
An old love affair
and finally let go,
To give it all up–
To let someone know
You don’t care anymore
That you’re walking away…
For sure as you do,
He’ll beg you to stay,
When you finally break free
When you finally say
That it’s over and done
and you’re walking away,
You know that it’s time,
And this time it’s true–
So you never look back
For you know if you do,
It will hurt that much more
And it’s time to get on,
So you never look back
And you’re now on your own.
