"Gonna Get Over You"

Goodbye

Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?

Layin' down the law that I live by

Oh, maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue

Brimming with the words that go unsung

I simmer, then I burn for someone

The wrong one

I tell myself to let the story end, oh

My heart will rest in someone else's hand

My why-not-me philosophy began

And I say

Oh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday

"Maybe" it's a vicious little word that can slay me

Keep me when I'm hurting and make me

Hang from your hands

Well, no more (no more)

I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I make it at the thought of you, what for? (what for?)

It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be

I dare you, darling, just you wait and see

But this time not for you but just for me

And I say

Oh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday

Say it's comin' soon,

Someday without you

All I can do, is get me past the ghost of you

Wave goodbye to me

I won't say I'm sorry

I'll be alright, once I find the other side of

Someday

Oh, oh

Whoa, oh

Oh

Oh, oh

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh

Whoa, oh

Oh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday
