Start Over" is a song by American recording artist Beyoncé Knowles taken from her fourth studio album 4 (2011). It was written by Shea Taylor, Knowles and Ester Dean and produced by the first two. The song's development was motivated by the fact that Knowles traveled around the world and experienced different cultures which inspired love and purity inside her. A mid-tempo ballad, "Start Over" finds the protagonist affirming her individuality and expressing her love for a man with whom she attempts to start a relationship all over again. Its instrumentation consists of drums, electric and enticing beats and synthesizers.
I feel weak, we've been here before
Cuz I feel we keep going back and forth
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through
But I honestly can say
I still love you
Maybe we reached the mountain peak
And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic peace
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I can see that we're not happy here
So why would we keep pretending that there's nothing there
Maybe you like it, well I don't
And maybe you'll settle, well I won't
Maybe we reached the mountain peak

And there's no more left to climb
And maybe we lost the magic peace
And we're both too blind to find
Let's start over
Let's give love their wings
Let's start over
Stop fighting about the same old thing
Let's start over
We can't let our good love die
Maybe we can start all over
Give love another life
I know that this will hurt you
I know you'll cry
I know I called you selfish but that's a lie
I feel I know what's the best for us
Let's start over!
Let's give love the wings
Let's start over
I'm tired of fighting 'bout the same old thing
Let's start over
We both know that this love won't die
Maybe we can start over
Give love another life
