Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You


Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone, a wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began
And I say

(Chorus)
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

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and you 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?
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

(Chorus)

I stand corrected, I know too well
And now it's much too late for you for me
As far as I can tell
Oh I say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)
