Sara Bareilles – Gonna Get Over You

Goodbye

Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn’t I?

Laying down a law that I live by

Well, 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

And I tell myself to let the story end

That my heart will rest in someone else’s hand

But my ‘Why not me?’ philosophy began

And I said

Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday

Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday

Maybe

It’s a vicious little word that can slay me

Keep me where I’m hurting, you make me

Hang from your hands

But no more

I won’t beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I’m aching 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, darlin’, just you wait and see

But this time not for you, but just for me

I said

Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday

Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday

Say it’s coming soon

Someday without you

All I can do

Is get me past the ghost of you

Wave goodbye to me

I won’t say I’m sorry

I’ll be alright

Once I find the other side of someday

Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday

Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay

I’ll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday
