Where To Start

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say the worst of your feelings will all come in waves And with no way to speed up the time you're left drowning for days Oh, I know that's how the saying goes But at the very least, could somebody lend me a little lifeboat? [Verse 2] I asked a question, you replied with the answer I'd feared And in one second flat, well, my certitude all disappeared Oh, in a daze I stumbled 'round black and blue And I stayed in the fog 'cause the smell of it reminds mе of you [Chorus] And I have tried To be strong for my mothеr Who's worried I'm lookin' too thin I've tried To stop feelin' like I am a stranger inside my own skin I've tried to imagine What might happen the next time I agree to let somebody in; I wouldn't know where to begin [Verse 3] Sometimes I worry I'll stay feelin' this way for years And when I go to that place, well, exhaustion's the least of my fears Oh, I can't bear to take another loss So I'll burn all my bridges before even needing to cross [Chorus] And I have tried To believe all my friends when they tell me it's not gonna last I've tried Not to ruin my future by dwelling too much on my past I've tried to imagine Being able to truthfully say I'm alright when I'm lost I wouldn't know where to start [Bridge] So I'll keep our photographs Every moment I captured your love And I'll store them somewhere they can't hurt my heart Oh, I'm not ready yet But I'm lookin' for where to start [Outro] So I will try (I will try) (I will try) Oh, I will try I will try (Try) (I will try) Oh, I will try I will try To believe all my friends and be strong for my mother To know there's a world out there I can discover at last Where to start will be soon in the past
