Starting Now

I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb I want to shut out all the lights in this room I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink Scrub away all these thoughts that I think of you So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil, Feel like I watch from six feet under the soil Still, want to hold you and kiss behind your ears, But I recount the countless tears that I lost for you But before you finally go there's one thing you should know, that I promise Starting now, I'll never know your name Starting now, I'll never feel the same Starting now, I wish you never came into my world I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains Spinning away every piece that remains of you But before you finally go there's one thing you should know, that I promise Starting now, I'll never know your name Starting now, I'll never feel the same Starting now, I wish you never came into my world It's my world, it's not ours anymore It's my world, it's not ours anymore Starting now, I'll never know your name Starting now, I'll never feel the same Starting now, I wish you never came into my world --- Starting Now - Ingrid Michaelson
