Start From Skratch - Better Luck Next Time

It seems I’ve fallen short of everything that I have felt inside

From empty promises to discontent and broken compromise

Now looking back I may have said I had the answers to it all

But after digging deeper, regret seems to be my downfall

Another episode in the never-ending consequence

Of boy meets girl and love and the apple of their punishment

A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways

In hopes to find another one someday

And now I’ve found the secret to the broken-hearted

Take a stand and I’ll guide you to the very end

I’ve only found myself here a million times or more

Enough to shed some light on what’s in store

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

And though my heart’s in transit, and this time it’s branded

It’s the simplest things that I miss inside

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

Well, stay just where we are, shout out from miles afar, screaming

I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess I’m just trying too hard

I’ve sold friends and traded them for tears

I gave up hope when nothing looked so clear

I can’t repeat the past, nor can I make it last

But all I wish tonight is that I’ll get this right

Of boy meets girl and love and the apple of their punishment

A tear is shed as boy parts girl to go their separate ways

Only knowing things are never gonna change

And now I’ve found the secret to the broken-hearted

Take a stand and I’ll guide you to the very end

I’ve only found myself here a million times or more

Enough to shed some light on what’s in store

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

And though my heart’s in transit, and this time it’s branded

It’s the simplest things that I miss inside

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

Well, stay just where we are, shout out from miles afar, screaming

I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess I’m just trying too hard

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

And though my heart’s in transit, and this time it’s branded

It’s the simplest things that I miss inside

'Cause I built my life around the black and white

And I’ve held my hopes and dreams so very tight

Well, stay just where we are, shout out from miles afar, screaming

I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess I’m just trying too hard
