Starting Over

Starting over, starting over
Starting over, starting over

Hoping that you'll change, but here's to hope
Falling for potential leads to hurt, and hurt's no joke, hmm
I guess I never seem to learn, trippin' on the same curb
Next time I'll think twice, next time I'll know

I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep (ooh-hoo-hoo)

So I'm a late bloomer, a early September boomer
Shy violets and purple tulips, a sense of humor that's stupid, you know
I'm not the coolest, and I hated that I was see through
And the one person that saw me didn't see me as a jewel
And I know you're use to girls falling over like vases
Or white girls at the party trippin' on ya
Just wasted, they fall over you, how quickly I'll get over you
The moment you think that you could play with my face is
The second I'ma leave yo' ass like Toni did girlfriends
You ain't caught up in the rapture, you stuck in the whirlwind
Let me pull over, I think this where your curb is
I'm moving on to better, this where our world ends

Thinking too fast, that's like a split decision
Stuck in the past, lost in the indecision (hey)
Wonder if I will ever get the message
People don't change, they simply change direction
But I'll find me a star, lost in your mars
Wanna shine where you are
Though I needed your approval, so see through
Gotta get back to Neptune
Well I'm on my way, moving through space

Why are these bags so heavy in the first place?
Why am I carrying his stuff like a briefcase?
Why am I holding on to you? What you? A keepsake?
Is this just hard for me? Why am I this way?
Memories fly by like cars, ooh, freeway
Did I miss my exit? Am I going the right way?
This road feel so long to me, is this a highway?
Oh God, please look out for me, uh, I pray
I'm too smart to get so lost, uh, I'll say

I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep starting over
I keep starting, keep starting, keep (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Thinking too fast, that's like a split decision
Stuck in the past, lost in the indecision (starting over)
Wonder if I will ever get the message (I keep starting, keep starting, keep)
People don't change, they simply change direction (starting over)
Thinking too fast, that's like a split decision (I keep starting, keep starting, keep)
Stuck in the past, lost in the indecision (starting over)
Wonder if I will ever get the message (I keep starting, keep starting, keep)
People don't change, they simply change direction (ooh-hoo-hoo)
Thinking too fast, that's like a split decision
