[Verse 1]

I'll be the first to admit there's something missing in my life

The winter's long but I'm holding on and I'll be just fine

8 am, once again

These hallways will always be my beginning and end

[Chorus]

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection, I'm finally free

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all

It started with me

[Verse 2]

Finally my time to get away from it all

Just me and a slice on a bench outside Paul's

I never thought that you would notice me

Two more years 'til I'm gone, it'll sink in

[Chorus]

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection, I'm finally free

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection, I'm finally free

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all

[Chorus]

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection, I'm finally free

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all

It started with me

With no direction, inspired rejection, I'm finally free

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all

[Outro]

It started with me

I'll be the first to admit

It started with me, yeah

There's something missing

It started with me

I'll be the first to admit

I'll stay forever, for the better, after all
