許冠傑 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you don′t smile anymore
I'm dying to help you heal
But you won′t unlock your door
You say it takes time,
But you don't have to spend it alone
You're stuck in a memory
You′re too busy looking back
Cause' you won′t make another try
Now your trust is gone
But you won't find it again on your own
So don′t go telling me it's too late to start
You′re still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in
Maybe you can start again
And don't go telling me there's no second chance
You′ll understand when you′ take my hand
Baby let me in
I promise we will start again
I'm trying to get to you
So I make these promises
I swear they′re unbreakable
But you're still just hearing his
He won′t let you go
Til you decide that you want to be free
You're haunted by yesterday
And you′re still sore from the fall
All you need is to whitewash these old walls
We'll paint something new
If you let yourself listen to me
So don't go telling me it′s too late to start
You′re still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in
Maybe you can start again
And don't go telling me there′s no second chance
You'll understand when you′ take my hand
Baby let me in
I promise we will start again
Don't give up yet
I won′t let you close the curtain too soon
We can reset
If you take the leap and let me show you
You just gotta make the choice (Yeah)
We love we lose
And you think the best defense is distance
Tune the world out
Put it all on mute so you can't listen
But there's no way out of here, just follow my voice...
So don′t go telling me it′s too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in... Yeah...
So don′t go telling me it's too late to start
You′re still holding a broken heart (a broken heart)
But if you let me in (let me in)
Maybe you can start again (Baby you can start again)
And don't go telling me there′s no second chance
You'll understand (You'll understand) when you′ take my
Hand (take my hand)
Baby let me in
I promise we will start again (I promise we will start again)
So don′t go telling me it's too late to start
You′re still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in
Maybe you can start again
The song "Start All Over Again" by 許冠傑 talks about a relationship that has been broken and a partner who is struggling to move on. The lyrics describe how the singer is trying to help their partner heal and move forward, but they are resistant and stuck in their past. They are haunted by the memories of their past relationship, and they have lost trust in love.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of giving love a second chance. The singer wants to convince their partner to let go of their past and start all over again with them. The verses highlight the challenges of letting go and moving on from a broken heart. The lyrics also suggest that the only way to move forward is to open oneself up to love again, which can be challenging, but ultimately worthwhile.
Line by Line Meaning
Baby it breaks my heart
It pains me to see you unhappy
That you don′t smile anymore
I notice that you have lost your joy
I'm dying to help you heal
I want to assist you in your recovery
But you won′t unlock your door
You refrain from letting me in
You say it takes time,
You realize that healing is a process
But you don't have to spend it alone
You should allow others to be there for you
You're stuck in a memory
You are fixated on the past
That you′re desperate to rewind
You wish to relive a certain memory
You′re too busy looking back
Your focus is on the past
Cause' you won′t make another try
You are hesitant to try again
Now your trust is gone
Your faith in others is lost
But you won't find it again on your own
You cannot regain trust by yourself
So don′t go telling me it's too late to start
Do not claim that it is too late to begin anew
You′re still holding a broken heart
You are still hurting from past experiences
But if you let me in
If you open up to me
Maybe you can start again
Perhaps you can begin anew
And don't go telling me there's no second chance
Do not deny the possibility of another opportunity
You′ll understand when you′ take my hand
You will comprehend when you trust me
Baby let me in
Allow me to be a part of your life
I promise we will start again
I assure you that we can begin again
I'm trying to get to you
I am striving to reach out to you
So I make these promises
I offer you my commitment
I swear they′re unbreakable
I am steadfast in my promises
But you're still just hearing his
You are still influenced by your past
He won′t let you go
Your past is still holding you back
Til you decide that you want to be free
You must choose to let go of the past
You're haunted by yesterday
Your past troubles continue to affect you
And you′re still sore from the fall
You are still recovering from your past hardships
All you need is to whitewash these old walls
You simply need to move on from old hurts
We'll paint something new
Together, we can create a new future
If you let yourself listen to me
If you are willing to hear me out
Don't give up yet
Do not lose hope
I won′t let you close the curtain too soon
I will not allow you to end things prematurely
We can reset
We can start anew
If you take the leap and let me show you
If you trust me and follow my lead
You just gotta make the choice (Yeah)
The decision is up to you
We love we lose
We experience joy and heartache in life
And you think the best defense is distance
You believe that staying away is the best protection
Tune the world out
Ignore the noise of the world
Put it all on mute so you can't listen
Block out all external voices
But there's no way out of here, just follow my voice...
There is no escape, but I will guide you
