Starting Over
Burden Of The Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm taking over to protect what's left
Of a broken bond that we left un-mended
It's getting easier to take that step
In the right direction without pretending

To you, I'm just fine
But for me it's time to start again
Today, I'm starting over today
Today I feel alive
Today, I know where I'm going
I know what I want
And I know that today is my day
I thought I knew you
But I guess you're the same
Because to me this is life
But to you it's a game
I told you once, I hope you feel the pressure
I hope you feel the guilt
I hope you feel the pain

To you, I'm just fine
But for me it's time to start again

Today, I'm starting over today
Today I feel alive
Today, I know where I'm going
I know what I want
And I know that today is my day

It's over and done with Ive
Brought all my guns with
You're not going to stop this
I'm starting over like this

Today, I'm starting over today
Today I feel alive
Today, I know where I'm going




I know what I want
And I know that today is my day
