Here's how we start again: you tell me a lie,
I say I'll believe you in you until the day I die
this is how it begins, as I try to pretend:
Here's how we start again

You say you're comin' back,
This time you're back for good
But I see your wandering eye
All through the neighborhood
And in the meantime I chalk up another lie:
Here's how we start again

We've been here so many times before, that
I can't begin to add up the score,
The times that you've walked on out that door
Without a glance back . . .

Here's how we start again,
We're going to make it through
We'll put the past to rest,
We'll start our love anew . . .
But you're not listening,
You've got the traveling blues,
You've put on your walking shoes

We've been here so many times before
Ev'rytime I promise never more,
But then you show up at my door,
And I open it wide

Here's how we start again
You tell me a lie,
I say I'll believe you in you
Until the day I die
Though I know I can't win,
I can at least pretend:
Here's how we start again
