This is how it begins
My formula for starting over
My blueprint to reinvent myself again
I try to fit in
Though I'm not much of a Casanova
Sometimes I color outside the lines where you might not expect
We try to be friends
And hope we don't blow our cover
Why bring it up when it's easier to pretend?
This is how it begins
My formula for growing older
Take a moment to breathe
Before you dive back in
This is my formula for starting over
Formula for starting over
Tell me how have you been?
Wish I was better at conversation
I hide my frustration behind a fleeting smile
So you tell me when
Yeah, you tell me when we're okay again
Though I don't suppose that will be for quite awhile
This is my formula for starting over
Starting over now
Formula for starting over
I will admit
Sometimes I still get jealous
I shouldn't be possessive
I've struggled to let you go
This may be hard to hear
I really wish things were different
But I know we won't regret this down the road
Formula for starting over
Formula for starting over
Starting over now
This is my formula for starting over
Starting over now
Formula for starting over
This is how it begins
My formula for getting over
Our history, and everything we knew
Everything has an end
And even though we're short on closure
Starting over is all that's left to do
