Asking Alexandria - Here's To Starting Over Lyrics

Asking Alexandria Lyrics

"Here's To Starting Over"

I'm sick of trying to be something that I'm never gonna be
Tryna fit in a mold that wasn't meant for me
I just wanna be free to let my mind do its thing
Without the world weighing in on where my heart should've been
And who I'm supposed to be

And so I draw the line
In the sand, my line

Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Get up, get up
Here's to starting over
(Here's to starting over)
(Here's to starting over)

I'd always sworn that I'd fight to find my own way through
But the past has a way of coming back for you
I'm just trying to do what I was put here to do
Without the world all assuming
What it is that I do

And so I draw the line
In the sand, my line

Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Get up, get up
Here's to starting over
(Here's to starting over)
(Here's to starting over)

I'd rather fail as me
Than succeed as someone else
There's a world of opportunity for someone like me
I don't need you to choose my direction
I'll pave my own way, I can make my own mistakes,
No matter what it takes or what it means for in the days to come

Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Get up, get up
Here's to starting over
(Here's to starting over)
(Here's to starting over)

Guitarist Ben Bruce told "Kerrang" about "Here's To Starting Over", "When Danny re-joined the band for the self-titled album, there was a lot of re-learning each other. It had only been a few years, but we'd all grown so much in that time. We'd all been through a lot – it was almost about trying to learn where we went wrong before." And added, "This is really about saying that we're back – the original five members – and we're rediscovering that mindset we had as kids with no rules, no expectations, no-one else's money involved."
