Gonna Get Over You

Sara Bareilles · Kaleidoscope Heart [2010]

Goodbye

Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?

Layin' down a law that I live by

Though 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 say...



CHORUS:

Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be all right, just not tonight

But someday, hey, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be all right, 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

Well, 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?

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...



CHORUS



(Say) Say, it's coming soon

(Someday) 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 all right once I find the other side of someday



CHORUS
