New Beginning
No Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I'd have known what you would say
I'd have turned and walked away
Can't hold the tears back though I try
'Cause there's nothing quite
As sad as goodbye
Don't want to think about tomorrow
You won't be here by my side
All of a sudden I feel hollow
There's nothing quite
As sad as goodbye

So I'm alone again
Trying to find a ticket
To the next train
To the next train
I'm on my own again
Waiting in line for a new
New beginning

I know that we are better off
Still I feel that I have lost
When I look into your eye
There's nothing quite
As sad as goodbye

So I'm alone again
Trying to find a ticket
To the next train
To the next train
I'm on my own again
Waiting in line for a new
New beginning

Back where I once started
Trying my luck again
Now I've got my heart set
On a better day
Who's to say what's waiting
Just around the bend
Can't do more than hope
And pray for a happy end

So I'm alone again
Trying to find a ticket
To the next train
To the next train
I'm on my own again




Waiting in line for a new
New beginning
