Gonna Get Over You

Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Well, maybe next time
I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
The wrong one
And I tell myself to let the story end,
And my heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I said
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
But someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
But someday
Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands
Well, 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?
That's not me anymore
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
But I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you, but just for me,
And I say
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
But someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
But someday
Say It's coming 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
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday
