Over You
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Weather man said it's gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold

Mid-February shouldn't be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you, I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I'm not afraid

Your favorite records make me feel better
'Cause you sing along with every song
I know you didn't mean to give them to me

But you went away
How dare you, I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know
When I see it in stone

'Cause you went away,
How dare you, I miss you




They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blake Shelton Feat. Miranda Lambert's song "Over You" tell a story of heartbreak and loss. The singer is reminiscing about a past holiday season that he had spent with his significant other. Even though it is now mid-February and snow is on the horizon, he cannot help but remember the good times that they had shared. He acknowledges that it is scary to be alone, but he finds comfort in listening to his partner's favorite records.


As the lyrics progress, it becomes apparent that the significant other has passed away. The singer reflects on how difficult it is to accept this reality and how much he misses his partner. Despite being told that he will eventually be okay, the singer knows that he will never truly get over the loss.


The song's emotional appeal is heightened by the fact that it was co-written by Blake Shelton and his ex-wife Miranda Lambert. The song was inspired by Shelton's brother, who passed away in a car accident when Shelton was a teenager. The songwriting process was cathartic for both Shelton and Lambert and has become a poignant tribute to their loved ones.

Miranda's voice is stunning here conveying the pain of loss and Blakes back up and face convey such grief. This version makes me cry because I lost a close friend at 17 and the shock reverberates still.

I don't even listen to country music much, but I'll always love Miranda's voice. She's spectacular. The meaning behind the song is tear jerking to say the least. Blake made a good call having her sing it. They sounded great together here
