Over You

Dinner party, chasing money I always felt so lonely sitting next to you In denial, faking smiles I didn't know that I would be so hard to choose I whispered in your ear that I just couldn't stay I knew that I would lose myself to play your game So casual and cold the way you looked away Sealing our fate, sipping your Chardonnay I had to dance in my rains Had to feel all the pain Slowly suck all your poison straight out of my veins Had to live sleepless nights Tired and cursing your name Climb up 10,000 staircases to break the chains But I'm over you (now, now) So over you (now, now) I'm over you (now, now) So over you And from way up here it don't look so pretty I see clearly now Looking back and down Everything we built had turned to grains of sand Curse is lifted Something shifted Dancing my way out of hell, I wish you well Now it almost feels like we were a past life A meteor that struck me into a dark night I got some perspective and I'm OK We were star-crossed, but I lit my own way I had to dance in my rains Had to feel all the pain Slowly suck all your poison straight out of my veins Had to live sleepless nights Tired and cursing your name Climb up 10,000 staircases to break the chains But I'm over you (now, now) So over you (now, now) I'm over you (now, now) So over you And from way up here it don't look so pretty It only took 6 years I wrote you 50 songs Until my fingers bled How could it take so long? Sometimes there ain't a reason I guess we just had our season -- I'm over you (now, now) So over you (now, now) I'm over you (now, now) So over you And from way up here it don't look so pretty You don't look so pretty -- now I'm over you (now, now) --(now, now)
