Lyrics:
In my life I never thought I'd get a second chance
I thought I was done - then I met you
And though I never dreamed I could learn how to love again
I placed my bet
And you came through
I somehow still lost
I somehow always do
This time feels new
Thank you for finding me
And thank you for the care
And fuck you for making me think that this life might be fair
You promised to love me,
a promise you kept
And I won't be sorry that you said to leap and I leaped
I won't regret
What I did then
Though it hurts more than I could imagine back when
All the same, even so
I would love you all over again
Am I always
Starting over?
In a brand new story
Am I always
Back at one
After all I've done?
‘Cause I've burned all of my bridges
And learned every last lesson too
So how can I start new?
I’ll love our children,
both fiercely and well
When they ask about you,
oh lordy, the stories I’ll tell
And I won't regret the lives I didn't lead
I knew you, I loved you,
and let that be all that I need
Say that it’s fate
Say it’s foretold
I'm through with fighting it
I'm much too old
What the gods have to give
I’ll take, and I’ll live, and be bold
If we’re always
Starting over
Every brand-new morning
Then we’re always
Starting out
With the end in doubt
We can leave life for tomorrow
Or grieve all that we thought we’d do
Or make each moment new
All that has happened is happening now
All that might happen is here, somehow
All of the choices that made me, me
All of the accidents yet to be
All that's ahead
And all that's behind
It’s all in the moment
I make up my mind
And open my heart
And start
And start
‘Cause we’re always
Starting over
Every life we’re living
And we’re always
Just awake
Every step we take
And my love, our life is over
But love, I’ll make you one last vow
To start over
And over
And over somehow
My new life starts right now!

This wasn't a music video, this was like a religious experience.

[@hollymurray2959]

it really pisses me off when people say idina can't sing because of one mistake in a live performance, they obviously have not gone ontk youtube to see how bloody amazing she is! This woman is a true legend with an amazing talent and its horrible to read such disgusting comments about her because of some performances that arent perfect

[@Luu-luu]

Plus she was totally sabotaged on that performance. Aside from the name thing, the orchestra was playing at a different tempo. It was way faster than the original and that also took Idina for surprise. Apparently, they needed to rush because they were behind or something and it's live TV.

[@ladylightress5411]

Everyone who isn't an idiot can tell her voice is amazing. Not to pin her to Frozen, but I imagine some of her songs are songs Elsa sang to herself. ❄️

[@DemiDawn]

Which performance is that? I think Idina is amazing but I'm curious to which performance you refer.

[@beynonoitsyonce]

Holly Murray Exactly

[@evakeller6387]

@@DemiDawn I think she means the Tony's with Defying Gravity

She really is a blazing supernova. I'm so glad that she was cast for Maureen all those years ago because she's only gotten better with time.

[@jenniferrohrbach2262]

I was there for the final performance yesterday, and this song was one of the most moving performances I've ever seen. The entire audience could feel the emotion Idina was putting into this, and it was overwhelming. Thank you, If/Then cast. This show was a gift.

[@linziwilkinson2761]

Good luck to anyone in future playing Liz/Beth. Idina, like in wicked, has certainly set the bar. Her voice is outstanding and so powerful. This part suits her so much, like it was made for her. Just wow!!

[@tomdejong14]

Check out the Korean version from last year. I think lead actress Jeong Sun Ah actually reached the same level of perfection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWW8Y3-afdV9a6s

How did she not get the Tony for If/Then?? This song has her whole soul in it!!

[@princepeterwolf]

SHE WAS ROBBED

[@272727sa]

Do you remember all the hype "Beautiful" got when Carole King started going to the theater, tearful hugs with the cast, all the backstage photo ops. It's called campaigning, and THAT'S why Idina didn't win the Tony, and Jessie Meuller did. And before anyone tells me how great Jessie was, I saw them both. Jessie was terrific, Idina was robbed.

[@anandjha3445]

Amen that's Idina Menzel given a gift from God

[@Stephen270192]

I hope they record this show and release a DVD so I can watch the entire show... living half the globe from Broadway is so unfortunate for me :( And btw Miss Idina is flawless. Her voice, her emotion, everything about her is just so precious :D

[@VengefulKBM]

ALL the feels. I adored this show.

[@ckanowitz]

"I won't regret the lives I didn't lead: I knew you, I loved you, let that be all that I need" Man that line went right into the depths of my being...

[@Caliax331]

Okay obviously Idina is fucking unbelievable here but this show definitely did not get enough praise. Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic cast, with a refreshingly new story. I'd love to see this get recorded because I want people to be able to watch this 5 years from now and go damn, that was good.

[@ambercimone2748]

I love how she sticks her tongue out, you could tell she was feeling it

[@aliuscogitabam]

They actually teach you to do that when your learning to sing

[@heathergerfen4893]

Sticking your tongue out while hitting higher, longer held notes helps you to not push the note through your nose, so that you keep the note pure.

[@Marisol1711]

I was crying so much when I saw it in the show.. she's incredible

[@vickychivilcoyar]

Let it go does not make justice on her Talent....she is the best performer!

[@DerKaetzer]

This singing is just godlike. Such passion, such strength and still so controlled and precise. I've never heard anyone like Idina Menzel. Magnificence becomes song!

[@haleyes98]

This show was AMAZING and truly didn’t last on Broadway even nearly as long as it should have. I’ve seen many shows in my short 24 years, living in the NY metropolitan area, but holy shit-this was the first one that made my eyes well up with tears. I felt so deeply sad but also touched and ugh just so many emotions!! Idina was phenomenal, as was the entirety of the rest of the cast

[@LizzyCG87]

Amazing. The Queen of Broadway

[@teacherbuknoy]

Idina is one of those vocalists/singers/artists with an extra-unique voice. You'll always know it's them the first note of the song. And the power in her voice!

[@staciegreen8659]

I saw this show today and it was unbelievable. The story, Idina, the entire cast was just incredible.

[@charlietanzi3102]

I love her toungue thing on that last word

[@KramerHanson]

Little did I know that the last performance and trip that I would experience my husband was December 2019. We happened to see Idina at a taping of Stephen Colbert and she was magnificent, singing a holiday song twice (to get it perfect). This song and video hit the nail on the head, the cardigan and t-shirt are my constant wardrobe and here I am starting over.

[@oceanlover1214]

Saw her in San Francisco. She was fantastic. Since then this has been one of my power songs to get through my last semester of college. I've made it!

[@HaleyIvers]

She's a QUEEN

[@MCeili]

True That.

[@Elphaba88]

Pure perfection. I hope they record the show live and release it!!!! This show has changed my life. I love Idina Menzel!!! And the rest of the cast!!!! :)

[@emmah.9356]

I hope too, because I have any luck to will be able to see her in live!

[@rbbbc132]

Emma H. I was lucky enough to see the show live. Let me tell you it was beyond incredible. She was so amazing and sang with so much emotion that it was so real. No one in the whole theatre wasn't crying. Even Idina herself was crying during You Learn to Live Without. I won't trade the memories from that show for anything.

[@emmah.9356]

Ryan Baer I can understand you.I've seen Wicked with Willemijn Verkaik and I couldn't help, I was crying. In youtube, I've listened her "Always Starting over", and wow, Idina is so amazing! I've got chills in my soul and tears in my eyes. I hope one day, she will come in France, or somewhere around, there, I will be able to see her in live. One of my biggest dream! Have a good day!

[@rbbbc132]

Emma H. I was lucky enough to see Willemijn in Wicked as well! On Broadway. She was amazing.

[@emmah.9356]

Ryan Baer Really? Great! I've seen her in London and she was yeah, amazing! Even more that!

[@danielponder690]

This song really captures the emotions anyone feels losing a loved one, partner, spouse, parent, child - always feel a sense of loss, anger, regret, hope for the future, fear for the future...

[@KuroDokueki]

I was fortunate enough to see If/Then in the final week of its run. I had been listening to it since the day after the soundtrack came out, at least once or twice a week since then. It is a show that has influenced me greatly in my personal life, and encouraged me to push through some very difficult things. Idina has always had a way with her music, but this show was the very best, the most I could ever hope for. The deep, emotional connection felt through the music, it has a magical power about it. I wish the show had done better, because more people deserve the possibility to experience this tale of love, loss, and possibilities.

[@randilaplaca6848]

I cried through the whole 2nd act. What an amazing show, cast, soundtrack, and premise. This song applies to all of us at some time or another. Idina is magnificent!

[@vic90lee]

This song deserves MORE than 167,000++ views! This song is absolutely well sung and so deep in meaning. I feel you Idina!

[@alvinmedina7121]

That's was perfection. I'm hoping Idina fans won't get mad at me. She is perfect in this show n singing in this range. Wicked I felt caused her to strain her voice . Although she did wonderful things with the roll. She is a very talented woman

[@krr74]

omg Idina is everything and this is my favorite song right now. I need to see this show. NEED

[@ElectricLegend14]

I love that this song tells a story but is also open enough to where it could apply to pretty much anything, especially that bridge. One of the best things about music is you can use it in the context of your own life, a situation, person, journey and apply it as inspiration and clarity.

[@evertondossantossuportetec9726]

Essa música resumiu minha vida. Como podemos fazer tantos erros com a pessoa que amamos e está sempre do nosso lado! Erros que nunca deveriam acontecer. Mas nada é mais forte que o amor, espero um dia reconquista-la.

[@dgj70094]

I found this song so instrumental in my recovery and healing after I lost my late wife to Metastatic Breast Cancer in 2012. She came and picked me up at a time where I was getting over a very bad breakup. Every word, I could see myself singing to her, including the "F you" line, as I loved her that much and I was that mad that she had to leave and I was sucked into loving her completely. I still listen to it today, as it still has healing power of not giving up and doing everything you have to in order to move forward.

​@@spinny418 Nope. Extremely bad vocal technique.

[@spinny418]

Disagree..it's common and Idina knows what she's doing and does it well.

[@carr0760]

@@spinny418 No, she doesn't. I'm a voice teacher with multiple degrees and decades of experience. It's not a common technique. It's a bad one. The second you stick your tongue out, you create immense tension in your vocal mechanism which ultimately causes damage. Damage which Idina has and is clearly audible when you listen to her sing. There's a reason she sounds so much worse now than she did 20 to 30 years ago and there's a reason why her live performances are often so bad.

+Lula Mae I completely agree. There is, however, a kind person who has made a playlist of her broadway performances. If you type 'Idina Fanzel' into the search bar (you may need to click 'search instead' because it may show you results for 'Idina Menzel'). Click the profile with the picture of Idina doing a heart with her hands. Go to playlists and click on the 'Idina Menzel Bootlegs'. There you will find various shows: If/Then, Wicked, Rent etc. I hope this helps you out, and others too.

She's is the best! I have a question for ppl who do know about vocal techniques, why did she put her tongue out for the last part? Don't get me wrong she sounds amazing but I am curious as all my singing teachers have told me to put it down on the floor of my mouth

+Jeffrey Sewell wow!! Awesome! Thanks for the reply!

[@molliemongson2017]

[@jcpiaggiog]

It lets her push more Air out. when you feel you are about to vomit the voice justs gets out perfectly

[@PrOpoRa8r1Br0]

It's a bad singing technique, that shows there is tension. When you're singing you should be relaxed and the tongue has nothing to do with air. The tongue has to be down because there is more space in your mouth for the sound to come out, when there is tongue tension there is less space in your mouth so the sound will be a little more closed.
