Starting Over Lyrics - The Heist - Ryan Lewis

One, two, now 

Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of 

And I threw ''em all away for 2 Styrofoam cups 

The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me 

Made my sobriety so public, there's no fuckin' privacy 

If I don't talk about it then I carry a date 

08-10-08, but now it's been changed in every 

When they put me in some boxes that say 

That I never was, it's the false prophet that never came 

And will they think that everything that I written has all been fake 

Oh well I'll just take my slip to the grave 

Uh, what the fuck are my parents gonna say? 

The success story that got his life together and changed 

And you know what pain looks like 

When you tell your dad you relapsed and look him directly into his face 

The seep on your shoulder's the seemingly heavy weight 

I haven't seen tears like this on my girl 

In a while the trust that I once built's been betrayed 

But I'd rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes 

Them falsely held up, give em props, loved and praised 

I guess I gotta get this on the page

Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is 

I know what I gotta do and I can't help it 

One day at a time is what they tell us 

Now I gotta find a way to tell them 

God help 'em 

One day at a time is what they tell us 

Now I gotta find a way to tell them 

We fell so hard 

Now we gotta get back what we lost, lost 

I felt you'd go 

But you were with me all along along

And every kid that came up to me 

And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean 

Now look at me, a couple days sober 

I'm fighting demons 

Back of that meeting on the east side 

Shaking tweakin', hope that they don't see it 

Hope that no one is looking 

That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie 

Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken 

If they call on me I'm passing, if they talk to me I'm booking out that door 

But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore? 

Maybe this isn't the place or time 

I just wanted to say that if it wasn't for other side I wouldn't have made it 

I just look down at the ground and say thank you 

She tells me she has 9 months and that she's so grateful 

Tears in her eyes, looking like she's gonna cry fuck! 

I barely got 48 hours, treated like I'm some wise monk 

I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can't 

I just shake her hand and tell her congrats 

Get back to my car and I think I'm tripping yea 

'Cause God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand 

I'm just a flawed man, man I fucked up up 

Like so many others I just never thought I would 

I never thought I would, didn't pick up the book 

Doin' it by myself, didn't turn out that good 

If I can be an example of getting sober 

Then I can be an example of starting over 

If I can be an example of getting sober 

Then I can be an example of starting over 

We fell so hard 

Now we gotta get back what we lost lost 

I felt you'd go 

But you were with me all along along 

We fell so hard 

Now we gotta get back what we lost lost
