Begin Again

Some people give up easily
Please don't tell me you're one of them
Because I don't believe you
I'm smiling about something you said eight months ago
I bet you already forgot my name

I guess I'm the complicated one
Can't stop trying to figure out things I already know
Thinking it would keep me from losing you
Didn't listen to myself and got everything wrong
And that's what made you be gone

Now I'm alone and it even hurts to breathe
It's like I lost my ground
I can't imagine living on, what's worth living
A whole life
Without you around? 

I'm not expecting anything
I'd devote my life in vain
Eight months gone, a love's chance missed
There's only one hope left for me
Can we begin again?
