Start Over Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel weak, we've been here before
'Cause I feel we keep going back and forth
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through
But I honestly can say I still love you

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find

[Chorus]
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting 'bout the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life

[Verse 2]
I can see that we're not happy here
So why would we keep pretendin' when there's nothing there?
Maybe you like it, well, I don't
And maybe you'll settle, well, I won't
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic piece
And we're both too blind to find

[Chorus]
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting 'bout the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
And give love another life

[Bridge]
I know that this will hurt you, I know you'll cry
I know I called you selfish, but that's a lie
I feel I know that's the best for us

[Chorus]
Let's start over
And let's give love their wings
Let's start over
I'm tired of fighting 'bout the same old thing
Let's start over, yeah, yeah
We both know that this love won't die
Maybe we can start all over
And give love another life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
