Rewind
Beverley Knight Lyrics

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
When faced with the aftermath of a failed love, one longs to go back and relive the moments when everything made sense.

Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
The desperation to bring back the past is so intense that one wishes to forget everything and reset their memories and emotions.

Funny how, when in love, everything your baby does has meaning
Love blinds us to the true motives behind our partner's actions, imbuing every moment shared with significance and depth.

Then it ends, love is spurned and then your sanity returns you seething
When love falls apart, the veil is lifted, and what once seemed beautiful appears flawed and repellent, making one angry and bitter.

What do you do?
When everything falls apart, one is left helpless and uncertain, unsure of what steps to take.

You scream you shout you fall about, you do whatever suits ya
The initial reaction is to give in to grief and pain, transforming into a vessel to let out all the frustration and hurt.

Yourself control is left to doubt
The experience shatters one's sense of self and control over their emotions, leaving them feeling defeated.

Revenge it seems so right
The thirst for revenge takes over one's mind, and they start believing that it's the only way to alleviate their suffering.

You weep you wail you tell your tale to anyone who'll listen
One seeks solace in sharing their grief with anyone who's willing to lend an ear, in the hope that it'll help them cope.

Then when you find the time to chill, discover life is out there still, so
After the initial outburst, one finds moments to rest, to reflect, to recover, and one realizes that there's more to life than the pain they're currently feeling.

Find a way to start it again
In the quest to move on and start anew, one seeks ways to rewind time, as if starting over is the only way to move past the hurt.

Bring it back and start it over
Bringing back old memories, reliving each event, and starting over from that point seems like the only way to get back what was lost.

Find another way to begin
Seeking alternate avenues to explore, without being held back by the regrets and pain of the past, seems to be the only way to start.

Fade to grey and turn it over
The memories of love lost take on a grey, lifeless color, and the only way to bury them is to let them fade away.

Most of us in our lives, made a choice and sacrificed our feelings
In the course of our lives, we make choices that sometimes come at the cost of our emotions and mental well-being.

And who's to say, that you're okay, when you feel like the layers of your soul are peeling
When dealing with the aftermath of such choices, it's hard to say that we're okay, especially when we feel like our very being is unraveling.

Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, 'cause you're ain't in the mood
The immediate reaction to heartbreak is to withdraw, to seek solitude, to not be surrounded by other people's love.

But you gotta find a way to start again, so
But dwelling on the hurt won't heal anything; one has to find a way to start anew, to move forward, even if it's just one step at a time.
