Starting Over (feat. Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses)歌词

[00:09.52]Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of
[00:15.11]And I threw ‘em all away for 2 Styrofoam cups
[00:18.19]The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me
[00:21.40]Made my sobriety so public, there’s no ******’ privacy
[00:24.13]If I don’t talk about it then I carry a date
[00:26.49]08-10-08, but now it’s been changed in every..
[00:30.52]When they put me in some box as a saint
[00:32.42]I never was, it’s the false prophet that never came
[00:35.30]And well they think that everything that I written has all been fake
[00:38.47]Oh well I’ll just take my slip to the grave
[00:40.78]Uh, what the **** are my parents gonna say?
[00:44.31]The success story that got his life together and changed
[00:47.17]And you know what pain looks like
[00:49.28]When you tell your dad you relapsed then look him directly into his face
[00:53.03]The seat on your shoulder’s the seemingly heavy weight
[00:55.88]I’ve been seeing tears like this on my girl
[00:58.15]In a while the trust that I once built’s been betrayed
[01:01.08]But I’d rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes
[01:04.61]The falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
[01:07.83]I guess I gotta get this on the page
[01:09.64]Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is
[01:13.87]I know what I gotta do and I can’t help it
[01:16.35]One day at a time is what they tell us
[01:19.51]Now I gotta find a way to tell them
[01:21.78]
[01:26.19]God help ‘em
[01:27.33]One day at a time is what they tell us
[01:31.41]Now I gotta find a way to tell them
[01:33.69]We fell so hard
[01:37.86]Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost..
[01:46.31]I thought you’d go
[01:49.64]But you were with me all along.. along..
[01:57.07]And every kid that came up to me
[02:00.15]And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean
[02:03.37]Now look at me, a couple days sober
[02:05.64]I’m fighting demons
[02:06.74]Back of that meeting on the east side
[02:08.52]Shaking tweakin', hope that they don’t see it
[02:10.48]Hope that no one is looking
[02:11.91]That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
[02:14.89]Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken
[02:17.95]If they call on me I’m passing, if they talk to me I’m booking out that door
[02:21.51]But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore?
[02:25.18]Maybe this isn’t the place or time
[02:27.15]I just wanted to say that if it wasn’t for other side I wouldn’t have made it
[02:31.59]I just look down at the ground and say thank you
[02:34.72]She tells me she has 9 months and that she’s so grateful
[02:37.47]Tears in her eyes, looking like she’s gonna cry.. ****!
[02:40.32]I barely got 48 hours, treated like I’m some wise monk
[02:44.51]I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can’t
[02:46.93]I just shake her hand and tell her congrats
[02:49.20]Get back to my car and I think I’m tripping yea
[02:51.86]Cause God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand
[02:54.88]I’m just a flawed man, man I ****** up up
[02:57.84]Like so many others I just never thought I would
[03:00.57]I never thought I would, didn’t pick up the book
[03:03.65]Doin’ it by myself, didn’t turn out that good
[03:06.51]If I can be an example of getting sober
[03:09.75]Then I can be an example of starting over
[03:12.32]If I can be an example of getting sober
[03:15.41]Then I can be an example of starting over
[03:18.13]We fell so hard
[03:22.86]Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost..
[03:30.15]I thought you'd go
[03:34.79]But you were with me all along.. along..
[03:41.77]
[03:54.93]We fell so hard
[03:58.53]Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost..
[04:04.33]
