- Over You Lyrics

Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left, just left me cold and out of breath
I felt if I was in way to deep, guess I let you get the best of me

Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know

I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you

You took a hammer to these walls, dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away, there was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut, a lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see that you never were the best for me

Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know

I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you

Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know

Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know

I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And ow I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

Well, I'm putting my heart back together
'Cause I got over you and I got over you
And I got over you

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you

This song means everything. I'm in a strange situation right now. I'm in love with a player who flits his attentions between me and my bestie. If anything it has brought us closer together, but every now and then I need to cry about this muthafrickin bastard. AND I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM! The first time he told me he loved me I believed him. This last time I want to so badly. But I know he doesn't my best friend knows he doesn't. And my guy friend Zak who I confide everything to knows he doesn't. SO WHY DO I LOVE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME? BECAUSE I NEVER SAW IT COMIN' AND I SHOULDA STARTED RUNNIN' A LONG LONG TIME AGO! I legitimately never thought I could doubt a word this boy said!
