I feel weak We've been here before 'Cause I feel we keep going back and forth Maybe it's over Maybe we're through But I honestly can't say I still love you Maybe we reached the mountain peak And there's no more left to climb And maybe we lost the magic piece And we're both too blind to find Let's start over Let's give love their wings Let's start over Stop fighting 'bout the same old things Let's start over We can't let our good love die Maybe we can start all over Give love another life I can see that we're not happy here So why would we keep pretending when there's nothing there Maybe you like it, well I don't And maybe you settle Well I won't Maybe we reached the mountain peak And there's no more left to climb And maybe we lost the magic piece And we're both too blind to find Let's start over Let's give love their wings Let's start over Stop fighting 'bout the same old things Let's start over We can't let our good love die Maybe we can start all over And give love another life I know that this will hurt you I know you'll cry I know I called you selfish But that's a lie I feel I know what's best for us Let's Start over And let's give love their wings Let's start over I'm tired of fighting 'bout the same old thing Let's start over We both know that this love won't die Maybe we can start all over And give love another life
