It Won't Be Over You
Steve Wariner · Drive [Arista] [1993]
When she told me it was over
My tears fell like rain to the ground
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
I may have gone under but I did not drown.
I can't say that my last tear's fallen
I may cry another time or two
There's still a chance that I'll get my heart broken
But the next time I do it won't be over you.
Well the sun is shining brighter
With each mile that slips beneath my wheels
And the load is getting lighter
Now I know how freedom feels.
I can't say that my last tear's fallen
I may cry another time or two
There's still a chance that I'll get my heart broken
But the next time I do it won't be over you.
There's a sun on the horizon
That outshines all the pain you put me through.
I can't say that my last tear's fallen
I may cry another time or two
There's still a chance that I'll get my heart broken
But the next time I do it won't be over you.
I can't say that my last tear's fallen
I may cry another time or two
There's still a chance that I'll get my heart broken
But the next time I do it won't be over you...
