Starting Over Again

That summer night when fireflies flickered
Like secrets playing on your lips
I knew from your faraway expression
That tonight was the end of the line

Next morning you’d gone without warning
Like moonlight dying in the dawn
We’d sworn we’d be together forever
Your forever was shorter than mine

It’s taken a while but at last I can smile
‘Cos I know I’ll survive on my own

You’ve loosened your hold on my soul
And let go your grip on my heart
This is the beginning of the end of the pain
And the start of starting over again

I’ll forget all our dreams, those impossible schemes
And maybe I’ll find someone new
I’ll become a new me, a bird that’s been freed
Because I know now that I’m over you

It’s taken a while but at last I can smile
‘Cos I know I’ll survive on my own

You’ve loosened your hold on my soul
And let go your grip on my heart
This is the beginning of the end of the pain
And the start of starting over again

Yeah, this is the start of starting over again
