Lyrics

I closed one door and you walked in
to my life, now I'm starting over
Never before have I felt this
hopeful and open
Yeah, I'm starting over

Deep inside, I knew
the picture wasn't right
Sleepless nights
hurting from their lies

I had to let go of what I know
to get ready for you

I closed one door and you walked in
to my life, now I'm starting over
Never before have I felt this
hopeful and open

You know, sometimes I fear
to tell you about my life
Can I speak my mind
Will you stay by my side

I had to let go of what I know
to let you through

I closed one door and you walked in
to my life, now I'm starting over
Never before have I felt this
hopeful and open

Whatever I tell you
you're still there
You know all my secrets
and you still care
It's a new road I'm traveling

I'm starting over

Never before have I felt this
Hopeful and open
Yeah, I'm starting over

I closed one door and you walked in
to my life, now I'm starting over
Never before have I felt this
hopeful and open

I'm starting over
Starting over
Starting over
