Never Really Over
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm losing my self control
Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in
But I don't want to fall down the rabbit hole
Cross my heart, I won't do it again
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself: Draw the line
And I do, I do
But, once in a while, I trip up and I cross the line
And I think of you
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
I guess I could try hypnotherapy
I gotta rewire this brain
'Cause I can't even go on the internet
Without even checking your name
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself: Draw the line
And I do, I do
But, once in a while, I trip up and I cross the line
And think of you
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time
Was the last, but I guess it's never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can't keep going back, I guess it's never really over
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
(And I'll have to get over you all over again)
Just because it's over, doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
(Over you all over again)
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time
Was the last, but I guess it's never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can't keep going back, I guess it's never really over
