If you had any idea what it was gonna take
Would you have gotten started in the first place
All these commitments you've made they keep on adding up
Because you got addicted from the first taste

Ooooh
Nobody wonders, nobody really cares
Ooooh
About your intentions until you've gotten there

When you started out, you were just a blank space
You started out, you were just an ordinary face
You started out, now you've got to finish what you've done
Isn't that why you started in the first place
Started in the first place

If you had ever believed that you were gonna break
Would you have gotten going in the first place
All these decisions it takes to get you through the day
With no one even noticing your heart break

Ooooh
Are you alone yes are you in trouble no
Ooooh
People's opinions they tend to come and go

When you started out, you were just a blank space
You started out, you were just an ordinary face
You started out, now you've got to finish what you've done
Isn't that why you started in the first place
Started in the first place

How do you know
When you're finally done
If you've got nothing to show
How do you know
When all the people you might trust
All forget to let you know

Ooooh

When you started out, you were just a blank space
You started out, you were just an ordinary face
You started out, now you've got to finish what you've done
Isn't that why you started in the first place
Started in the first place
Can you remember at the start
Can you remember trying for a shot
Can you remember wanting to be there
Can you remember wanting to be there

Do you know why you started in the first place
Do you know why you started in the first place
In the first place
