It wasn't long ago that word got around
And starting over sure can bring you down
But it's okay when you've got nothing to lose
And this is where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin
Where I begin to live again

With all the worries that I had through the years
It took a while to finally calm those fears
So tell me why they're screaming in my ears
'Cause this is where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin to live again

It's just the same when they call me a sensitive fellow
I guess I'm blue but it sure as hell beats feeling yellow
I always thought I should be doing something better

I spent a lot of time biting my tongue
While they criticized every word I'd sung
I think the tension may have done me some good
'Cause this is where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin to live again

It's just the same when they call me a sensitive fellow
I guess I'm blue but it sure as hell beats feeling yellow
I always thought I should be doing something

I know it's hard not to dwell in your past
But this is one I can't forget too fast
It's time to start a memory that will last
And this is where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin to live again

Where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin
It's where I begin to live again
