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)
