START OF SOMETHING GOOD
You’re beaten. You beat yourself. You beat me.
Used to hurt so bad.
But now, I can’t feel it. It’s no longer real
Anymore to me.
(chorus)
It’s the end of the beginning, it’s the beginning of the end
All I know, it’s the start of something good.
No doubt some things have changed, and other things remain
All I know it’s the start of something good.
I think you’d like, for me to crawl, across the floor
For you
I think you’d like, for me to scrawl, across the wall,
“I NEED YOU”.
(chorus)
And it is right, to talk all night
But not to fight, about what’s not real
You’re beaten. You beat yourself. You beat me.
Used to hurt so bad.
But now, I can’t feel it. It’s no longer real
Anymore to me.
(chorus)
