"The Art of Starting Over" Lyrics

I'm like a watch, I'm unwinding like a clock
It's okay if I don't know what the time is
I just woke up from drinking, had half a cup
The universe is trying to remind me
Give me a pen, I need writing, another ending
It didn't turn out the that way I wanted
I had the armor, I wore it much in the summer
But the arrow hit me right where the heart is

I guess I'm mastering the art of
Starting over (Ooh)
Starting over (Ooh)
New beginnings can be lonely
Thank God I got me to hold me
Starting over, over

He was so cute, I was so ready to be sure
So I let him keep her under the surface (Keep her under the surface)
But it didn't take long to realize
That the woman in me does not cry
For a man who is a boy, and he does not deserve this

I guess I'm mastering the art of
Starting over (Ooh)
Starting over (Ooh)
New beginnings can be lonely
Thank God I got me to hold me
Starting over, over

I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I let the darkness, I let the darkness out
I let the darkness (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
