Song Description

A story of starting over, but to no avail: addiction and desperation are stronger than this soul.

Lyrics

The night fell on a battleground like a favor
So much for starting over
Staying sober wasn't working out
As her will broke down
She poured a glass of an old friend
When the bottle held just one more drink
She swore it was the last one
She lied

The dawn broke on her bloodshot eyes like a razor
So much for starting over
And who cared about her anyhow?
So her life spun down
To bars and tall tales and dead ends
When her cash dried up, she sold herself
And swore it was the last time
She tried

There's no day she hasn't vowed
To turn her life around
And there's no way to count the lies
Used to justify every drunken night

The law came to her front door waving papers
So much for starting over
There was no use fighting, not this time
So she hung her head
And in her best little girl voice
Said, "I'm sorry, judge, give me one more chance,
I swear this time's the last time"
She cried

The light came through the cell bars like a stranger
So much for starting over
