[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding]
I was old when I was younger
All the lives I'm not living
Always trying to pull me under
Feel like I've been barely living
But I keep getting struck by the thunder
Maybe we don't need the bigger picture
'Cause all I see is everything I've done called into question
Sorry, what was the question?
And you don't know how much I missed the winter
It's been the longest summer, came without the winner
And you can't even begin to understand
The magic she had before you killed her
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
I could call a truce for anyone but you
And I could change the truth for anyone but you
I guess what I'm trying to say is you changed me, mmm
Oh, why can’t things just stay the same, stay the same?
I'm thinking 'bout how many times I've had to recover
All I do is start again
I'm thinking 'bout a new beginning
It's never too late to start again, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
Start again, start again, start again
All I do is
Start again, start again, start again
[Verse 2: Ellie Goulding]
I separate my colours like a prism
Try to be myself, but I'm stuck in your religion (Oh)
Love keeps blurring my vision (Ooh)
I can't beat the narcissism (Ooh)
Think I'm gonna reinvent myself again, wash off all the pain
'Cause it runs away, but I know it stains (Know it stains)
You were always there, but you never stayed (You never, never stayed)
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
I could call a truce for anyone but you (Anyone but you)
And I could change the truth for anyone but you (Anyone but you)
I guess what I'm trying to say is you changed me, mmm
Oh, why can’t things just stay the same, stay the same? (Why can't they stay the same?)
I'm thinking 'bout how many times I've had to recover
All I do is start again
I'm thinking 'bout a new beginning
It's never too late to start again, oh-oh
[Post-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
Start again, start again, start again
All I do is
Start again, start again, start again
[Bridge: serpentwithfeet]
Every summer, my friends prevent me from using the grill (Grill, grill)
They believe Cancer men don't have the will to play with fire
But I'm gonna prove them wrong
I'm cutting my man off
Yes, I will burn this bridge
No, I do not want him (No-no, no-no, no, no)
I'm gonna prove them wrong
I'm cutting my man off
Yes, I will burn this bridge
No, I do not want him (Eh-eh)
I'm gonna prove them wrong
I'm cutting my man off
Yes, I will burn this bridge
No, I do not want him (I'm moving on from him)
[Outro: Ellie Goulding, serpentwithfeet & Both]
Fighting against what I'm fighting for
Another walk to the liquor store
Trying to break me down a little more (I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
Fighting against what I'm fighting for
Another walk to the liquor store
Trying to break me down a little more (I'm moving on from him)
(You fuck with me, I'll start a war)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war (I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
You fuck with me, I'll start a war (I'm moving on from him)
You fuck with me, I'll start a war
(I'm moving on from him)
I'm moving on from him
(I'm moving on from him) I'm moving on from him
I'm moving on from him
I was old when I was younger
