gonna get over you

.
goodbye,
i should be sayin' that to you, now shouldn't i?
laying down a law that i live by
...maybe next time.

i've got a thick tongue,
brimming with the words that go unsung
i simmer then i burn for a someone
...the wrong one

i tell myself to let the story end
and my heart will rest in someone else's hand
but why not me? philosophy began
and i said:

how am i gonna get over you?
i'll be alright, just not tonight
and someday i wish you'd want me to stay
i'll be alright, just not tonight
someday...

maybe,
it's a vicious little word that could slay me
keep me where i'm hurting,
you make me hang from your hands

but no more,
i won't beg for a shot at your back door
if i'm makin 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, wait and see
this time not for you, just for me

how am i gonna get over you?
