Always Starting Over (If\Then Original Broadway Cast)
In my life I never thought I'd get a second chance I thought I was done then I met you And though I never dreamed I could learn how to love again I placed my bet and you came through I somehow still lost, somehow always do This time feels new
Thank you for finding me Thank you for the care Fuck you for making me think that this life might be fair You promised to love me A promised you kept And I won't be sorry that you said to leap and I leapt I won't regret what I did then Though it hurts more than I could imagine back when All the same even so I would love you all over again
(Chorus) Am I always starting over in a brand new story Am I always back at one after all I done Cause I burned all of my bridges and learned every last lesson too So how can I start new
I love our children, both fiercely and well When they ask about you Well Lordy the stories I'll tell And I won't regret the lives I didn't lead I knew you, I loved you Let that be all that I need Say that it's fate, say it's foretold I'm through with fighting and I'm much too old What the Gods have to give I'll take and I'll live and be bold
(Chorus) If we're always starting over every brand new morning Then we're always starting out with the end in doubt We can leave life to tomorrow Or grieve all that we thought we do Or make each moment new
(Bridge) All that has happened is happening now All that might happened is here somehow All of the choices that made me me All the accidents yet to be All that's ahead and all that's behind It's all in the moment I make up my mind And open my heart, I'm scarred and start
(Chorus) Cause we're always starting over every life we're living Yes we're always just awake every step we take And my love our life is over but love I'll make one last vow To start over and over and over somehow My new life starts right now
