[00:00.00]Starting Over (feat. Ben Bridwell) (Explicit) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Macklemore/Ryan Lewis/Ben Bridwell
[00:10.77]One two now that's three plus years I was so proud of
[00:15.43]And I threw 'em all away for two styrofoam cups
[00:18.56]The irony: everyone will think that he lied to me;
[00:21.18]Made my sobriety so public--there's no f**king privacy
[00:23.24]
[00:23.91]If I don't talk about it then I carry a date:
[00:26.76]A 08-10-08 that now has been changed
[00:29.86]
[00:30.37]And when they put me in some box as a saint
[00:32.29]That I never was it's the false prophet that never came
[00:35.46]And will they think that everything that I written has all been fake
[00:38.05]Or will I just take my slip to the grave
[00:41.59]Uh what the f**k are my parents gonna say
[00:44.07]The success story that got his life together and changed
[00:46.93]And you know what pain looks like
[00:49.47]When you tell your dad to relapsed
[00:51.14]Then look him directly into his face
[00:53.28]The seat on your shoulders the seemingly heavy weight
[00:56.00]I haven't seen tears like this on my girl in a while
[00:58.99]The trust that I once built's been betrayed
[01:00.58]
[01:01.89]But I'd rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes
[01:04.87]Than falsely held up given props loved and praised
[01:07.61]I guess I gotta get this on the page
[01:10.69]Feeling sick and helpless lost the compass where self is
[01:14.14]I know what I gotta do and I can't help it
[01:17.41]One day at a time is what they tell us
[01:19.99]Now I gotta find a way to tell them
[01:22.75]
[01:26.48]God help em
[01:29.39]One day at a time is what they tell us
[01:31.82]Now I gotta find a way to tell them
[01:34.28][Hook]
[01:35.19]We fell so hard
[01:38.07]Now we gotta get back what we lost lost
[01:46.90]I felt you'd go
[01:49.97]But you were with me all along along
[01:57.85]
[01:58.67]And every kid that came up to me
[02:00.38]And said I was the music they listened to
[02:02.33]When they first got clean
[02:03.40]Now look at me a couple days sober
[02:05.50]I'm fighting demons back of that meeting on the east side
[02:08.86]Shaking tweakin' hope that they don't see it
[02:10.72]Hope that no one is looking
[02:12.19]That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie
[02:15.15]Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken
[02:17.75]If they call on me I'm passing;
[02:19.39]If they talk to me I'm booking out that door
[02:21.48]But before I can make it somebody stops me
[02:24.06]And says are you Macklemore
[02:25.69]Maybe this isn't the place or time
[02:27.66]I just wanted to say that if it wasn't for Otherside
[02:30.41]I wouldn't have made it
[02:32.28]I just look down at the ground and say"Thank you"
[02:35.02]She tells me she has nine months and that she's so grateful
[02:37.46]
[02:37.97]Tears in her eyes looking like she's gonna cry f**k
[02:40.97]I barely got 48 hours treated like I'm some wise monk
[02:44.82]I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can't
[02:47.24]I just shake her hand and tell her congrats
[02:49.85]Get back to my car and I think I'm tripping yea
[02:52.47]'Cause God wrote 'Otherside' that pen was in my hand
[02:55.36]I'm just a flawed man man I f**ked up up
[02:58.57]Like so many others I just never thought I would
[03:01.52]I never thought I would didn't pick up the book
[03:04.46]Do in it by myself didn't turn out that good
[03:08.08]If I can be an example of getting sober
[03:09.80]
[03:10.68]Then I can be an example of starting over
[03:13.78]If I can be an example of getting sober
[03:16.47]Then I can be an example of starting over
[03:20.61]We fell so hard
[03:23.42]Now we gotta get back what we lost lost
[03:32.23]I felt you'd go
[03:35.40]But you were with me all along along
[03:46.63]
[03:55.79]We fell so hard
[03:58.65]Now we gotta get back what we lost lost
