SARA BAREILLES LYRICS - Gonna Get Over You

"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



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 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



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



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



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
