about

This sad piano ballad takes you back to the painful breakup with my boyfriend. I definitely didn’t want him back, but at the same time I wasn’t ready to give up on the love. To start all over again with someone new. I wasn’t ready to write about this pain, but while in Nashville this song just came to me. Hopefully it helps people who’ve experienced this same feeling.

lyrics

I hear your footsteps in the driveway
Becoming distant just like our memories
Tears are falling down on my face
I never thought that you would leave me

Well if you have to go just go then
Although moving on is tough
I don’t need someone
Who thinks I’m not enough

But I don’t wanna start over
Don’t wanna do it over again
I don’t wanna get to know
The loving arms of someone else
I know I’ll never get closure
You left me without saying goodbye
I believed you loved me
I wonder if I was right
I don’t wanna start over
But I'll have to tonight

I think about the days
I have to go through
And all the things
I have to do without you

Go on dates, the first kiss and
Talk about my dreams and ambitions
I just want back the life I shared with you
But then I think about the things you put me through

But I don’t wanna start over
Don’t wanna do it over again
I don’t wanna get to know
The loving arms of someone else
I know I’ll never get closure
You left me without saying goodbye
I believed you loved me
I wonder if I was right
I don’t wanna start over
But I have to tonight

I don’t wanna start over
Don’t wanna do it over again
I don’t wanna get to know
The loving arms of someone else
I know I’ll never get closure
You left me without saying goodbye
I believed you loved me
I wonder if I was right
I don’t wanna start over
But I don’t wanna start over
I don’t wanna start over
