Analysis of A New Start
Love is pain and heartache
Everytime I fall I watch my heart break
I wish I had a sweet escape
A simple poison's warm embrace
So hard to let him go away
Even though I don't want him to stay
In his eyes I was always wrong
No reason to try to get along
I don't need anyone but me
It's about time that I see
To one's own self you must be true
That's what I'm going to do
