Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough But we're gonna make it Starting all over as friends is gonna be rough, on us But we gotta face it We lost what we had, that's why it hurt so bad. It set us back a thousand years. We're gonna make it up, though it's gonna be rough To erase all the hurt and tears Starting all over again is gonna be hard But I pray that the love will help us make it Starting all over again is gonna be slow But we both know that we can make it We gotta take life as it comes And never worry about who's right or wrong It's an uphill climb To the finish line We're gonna try to make it One more time Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough But we're gonna make it Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough, on us But we gotta face it Starting all over again is gonna be hard But I pray that the love will help us make it Starting all over again is gonna be slow We both know that we're gonna make it
