Begin Again
Confetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i was confused
i was empty and alone
i never knew if you were real
ever since you said hello
how could you look away when i told you stay
how'd you leave so easily

won't you tell me how its gonna be
if we could begin again
i'd change it today
i wont be sleepin
cus when i started
i said tomorrow today
we re in this together

foot out the door i caught your goodbye in the mirror
i wish we'd go back to before
to you and me in that reflection
and though i changed my mind a million times
i never thought you'd leave my side

wont you tell me how its gonna be
if we could begin again
i'd change it today
i won't be sleepin
cus when i started
i said tomorrow today
we' re in this together

you told me
you'd never leave
never warned me
this could mean a thing
just between
just once say what you want
say what you mean
i'll finally stop pretending
just feel me in a just ending
you rocked me in you rocked me out
and wore me down
freaked me out
ill say i never saw this coming
i told myself to dream of better days
if only i could turn back time
you and i could make it thru
and its the only thing
i need to know
did you really want to let me go

won't you tell me how its gonna be
if we could begin again
id change it today
i wont be sleepin
cus when i started
i said tomorrow today
we re in this together

if we could begin again
id change it today
i wont be sleepin
cus when i started




i said tomorrow today
we re in this together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Confetti's "Begin Again" are about yearning to start anew in a relationship that has ended. The song talks about feeling confused, empty, and alone after the breakup, and how despite changing her mind a million times about the relationship, she never thought her partner would leave her side. She questions why he left so easily and why he couldn't stay when she begged him to. Throughout the song, she pleads with him to explain how it's going to be if they begin again and assures him that they're in this together.


The chorus of the song reflects the artist's desire to rectify her mistreatments, saying, "If we could begin again, I'd change it today." She also states, "I said tomorrow today, we're in this together," reflecting a sense of urgency to start over and save the relationship, but doing so together. In the bridge, the artist asks him to speak honestly and say what he wants and means so that they can finally stop pretending and come to a real conclusion.


The song's raw confessionals prove that despite the obstacles that inevitable come with any romantic relationship, it's still worth it to try and start again with someone with whom we have a special connection, undergoing challenges and changes together. The song provides a compelling message of hope for those who have gone through similar situations of heartbreak, confusion, and loneliness.
