Starting Over Lyrics

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 the 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
