Where Do You Start

Where Do You Start - Alejandra Martin

Where do you start

How do you separate the present from the past

How do you deal with all the things you thought

Would last that didn't last

With bits of memories scattered here and there

I look around and don't know where to start

Which books are yours

Which tapes and dreams belong to you and which are mine

Our lives are angled like the branches

Of a vine that intertwine

So many habits that we'll have to break

And yesterdays we'll have to take apart

One day there'll be a song or something in the air again

To catch me by surprise and you'll be there again

A moment in what might have been

Where do you start

Do you allow yourself a little time to cry

Or do you close your eyes and kiss it all goodbye

I guess you try

And though I don't know where

And don't know when

I'll find myself in love again

I promise there will always be

A little place no on will see

A tiny part within my heart

That stays in love with you
