Got To Begin Again Lyrics
Well so, here I am at the end of the road
Where do I go from here?
I always figured it would be like this
Still nothin' seems to be quite clear

All the words have been spoken
And the prophecy fulfilled
But I just can't decide where to go
Yes, it's been quite a day
And I should go to sleep
But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know
That I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard

Well, it's been quite a while since I lifted my head
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes
I see the way that I've been spendin' my days
And reality has caught my by surprise
I was dreamin' of tomorrow,
So I sacrificed today,
And it sure was a grand waste of time
And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face
I just can't get you out of my mind
But I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard
Yes, it's hard, oh, ooh, ooh

It seems to me that Billy Joel has a song for everything dealing with life, and this one is no exception. I just broke up with my fiance and she ran off with over $5000 of my money. This song is about a situation just like that; he spent so much time trying to make something work with someone he really loved, but didn't love him back in kind, and eventually ended up hurting him. He knows it's for the better that it's over, and that he's got to get on with his life, but he still can't forget about it.

I was saying to a girl I was just dating there is no song that conveys what I am feeling, but this song does just that. After a 10 week relationship, she left me and I am beginning again, though I don't know how to start.

I love this song. Being at a point where you're not sure what to do next, when you have to sort of start over. You've "got to begin again...and it's hard." I can relate to the whole song, but especially the second verse.

I was dreamin' of tomorrow,
So I sacrificed today,
And it sure was a grand waste of time
And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face
I just can't get you out of my mind


I've been there.
