Zero

Big things that seem so little
Heart strings that feel so brittle
What's this sound banging in my head
Hard times seem mild in passing
I feel fine but it's not lasting
I'm alive while I'm already dead
Listen to my bones breaking
Life has left my soul aching
Jaded words keep rolling off my tongue
Time passes I'm still standing
Am I clear for safe landing?
The hardest part's already done

There's no shame in starting fresh
I believe better life can come out of this
I'm awake, I'm alive
I've got the past put aside
Done with the regrets I'm not gonna miss
I won't let this happen again
So let's crank it down from ten
Forget the past, embrace tomorrow
Let's brush the dust off, back at zero

Every word's an open door
And I keep slamming every single one
Am I here to resuscitate
Or am I here to drown
Turn the clock back to
The days when I thought things through
Turn back all the deeds I've done
Wipe my score clean so
I'll be back to zero
Tomorrow's only just begun

I'm not gonna sit here and make believe
That a number is the difference between you and me
No matter where you've been or who you are
Back at zero you'll find a fresh start
