I got over you


Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

" This is no place for me, Such hard faces set in smoke, The smell lingers in my clothes.

It's a bad night to be alone But that's the way it goes.

I thought I had it figured out In a brand new life with great big house And green initials on the towels.

Well You got yourself a family And you planted roots down by the sea.

I saw you once on the street, You didn't notice me.

Just to put your mind at ease You don't owe me anything.

You paid me well in memories And I think of you Whenever life gets me down.

You rest your bones Somewhere far from my own but you still pull me home "

Goodbye my almost lover

Your fingertips across my skin,
The palm trees was swaying in the wind
You sang me Spanish lullabies,
The sweetest sadness in your eyes was a clever trick

I'd never want to see you unhappy, I thought you'd want the same for me
We walked along a crowded street, You took my hand and danced with me
And when you left you kissed my lips,
You told me you would never Ever forget these images

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted And I'll bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life

Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be

So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
