I Can't Seem to Get Over You
Travis Tritt · Strong Enough [Columbia] [2002]
I'm reaching for tomorrow leaving bridges that I've burned
Here I stand alone with my back against the wall
Tortured by your memory and the feelings I recall.
I can't seem to get over you
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
The wall of denial
Has broken in two
And I can't seem to get over you.
Everywhere I turn I see shadows on the wall
A silhouette of sorrow of a man who had it all
Your kiss forever haunts me like a ghost out of the past
It's peaceful for a moment but it never seems to last.
I can't seem to get over you
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
The wall of denial
Has broken in two
And I can't seem to get over you.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm getting tired of living with these questions in my mind
Is it hopeful to imagine or just a waste of time
For now I go on dreaming, that's what's keeping me alive
But dreams won't last forever, tell me how will I survive.
If I can't seem to get over you
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
The wall of denial
Has broken in two
And I can't seem to get over you...
