Song Description
Every time I try to start a new relationship I know it's you that I really want to be with. I try to look to the future - all things change - but really I'm just remembering my past with you.

Lyrics
First light - and I'm fooled again,
I bet on sunshine, I got shame
Seems there's a never ending price I have to pay
For pretending I've forgotten yesterday.
I hate that it's the same feeling every time I make a new start -
I wake up to a stranger in your place,
And a weight upon my heart.
Beneath the barren sheets of winter white
There lies the patient promise of new life,
There will be blossom where the trees are bare and black -
But looking forward is just a mask for looking back.
I hate that it's the same feeling every time I make a new start -
I wake up to a stranger in your place,
And a weight upon my heart.
I know the river rapids will run calm and deep,
The crying child will succumb to sleep -
But can believing in the future ever heal the past?
Or must my first love always be my last?
And every time I make a new start -
I wake up to a stranger in your place....
