Start again

**[Verse 1]**

Memories faded like old photographs

Walking through shadows of our aftermath

Your name still echoes when the night gets deep

But some wounds heal better when you let 'em sleep

Years invested, now it's interest lost

Trying to salvage what's already cost

Too much pride to admit when it's done

Too much history to outrun

**[Hook]**

Sometimes it's better to stay away

Than try to build on yesterday

Sometimes you gotta break the chain

And find the strength to start again

**[Verse 2]**

Delete the texts, I erased your number

But your ghost still haunts me when I slumber

We built castles that turned to sand

The tighter I held on, the more you ran

They say time heals but that ain't true

Time just teaches you what to do

With all the pieces that didn't fit

When love becomes a sinking ship

**[Hook]**

Sometimes it's better to stay away

Than try to build on yesterday

Sometimes you gotta break the chain

And find the strength to start again

**[Verse 3]**

New beginnings start with goodbyes

Fresh foundations, no compromise

The hardest truth I had to face

Was loving you from a different space

Distance taught me what closeness couldn't

Showed me truths that love had hidden

Now I see with clearer eyes

That some endings are disguised

**[Outro]**

As the chance to rewrite your story

Start again, no apologies

Sometimes letting go is stronger than holding on

Sometimes walking away means moving forward, not gone

I had to lose you to find me

Now that's the realest thing

Start again...
