Starting Over Is a Lot Like Giving Up

I know you say you've been hurt real bad before
So you dig in your heels if you feel that pull
Claim the baggage that you've got is the thing to blame
But I can see you're afraid

Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings
Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings (by strings)

We're all broken in our own special ways
But sometimes all you need is a chance to change
Watch you hang by a threat to your heavy heart
It's dead before it starts

Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings
Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings

Starting over is a lot like giving up
Starting over is a lot like, it's a lot like giving up

Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings
Don't you, don't you wanna know
That you don't have to be alone
When will you see
You're only held down by strings
