Can't Get Over U
Brooke Taylor Lyrics

THX

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
But every time I see you I just wanna be with you
Call me crazy
I just can't get over you
Memories of you and me
Keep flashing through my mind
I realize a guy like you
Has been so hard to find
I wish that I could go back
And make all the wrongs right
You would've been here with me
Sharing love and life

Together
(Laughing, holding, touching, kissing)
Like we used to
(Cuz all that affection I've been missing)
Since the day I lost you
(You)
And it's true
(True)
Now that we're through
Every night I've been alone
Hoping you'll come home

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
But every time I see you I just wanna be with you
Call me crazy
I just can't get over you

I day dream constantly
Feeling it was meant to be
But now it's killing me
When you walked away from me
I thought i'd have a second chance
But now you're in a new romance
A new girl, a new love
I know it's wrong
But I hope you think of us

Together
(Laughing, holding, touching, kissing)
Like we used to
(Cuz all that affection I've been missing)
Since the day I lost you
(You)
And it's true
(True)
Now that we're through
Every night I've been alone
Hoping you'll come home

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
But every time I see you I just wanna be with you
Call me crazy
I just can't get over you

I can't get over you
(No)
No one else will do
(No)
I'll never be the same
(The same the same)
I can't get over you
(No)
No one else will do
(No)
My heart will never change
Never change, never change

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
But every time I see you I just wanna be with you




Call me crazy
I just can't get over you

Overall Meaning

Brooke Taylor's "Can't Get Over U" is a heart-wrenching, emotional ballad about the singer's inability to move on from a lost love. The lyrics evoke a deep sense of longing and nostalgia for a past relationship, with Taylor admitting that she can't help but think of her ex and want to be with him. Despite her efforts to put the past behind her and move on, memories of their time together keep flashing through her mind, and she realizes that finding another guy like him will be a hard task.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, but every time I see you I just wanna be with you", conveying a sense of helplessness in the face of her emotions. The singer is aware that her feelings are illogical, but she can't help the way she feels. She holds onto a sliver of hope that they might reconcile, even if her ex has already moved on to someone else.


The lyrics "together, laughing, holding, touching, kissing, like we used to" highlight the intimacy and closeness they once shared, and the singer's desire to have that back in her life. The song's theme of heartbreak and loss is relatable for many, and Taylor's emotive vocals powerfully convey the pain and longing behind the lyrics.

I don't know what to say
I am at loss of words


I don't know what to do
I am helpless


But every time I see you I just wanna be with you
I feel a strong connection that pulls me towards you


Call me crazy
I know my thoughts and feelings are irrational


I just can't get over you
I can't forget about you or move on from you


Memories of you and me
Recollections of our moments together


Keep flashing through my mind
They repeatedly surface in my thoughts


I realize a guy like you
I acknowledge that someone as special as you


Has been so hard to find
Is not easy to come across


I wish that I could go back
I wish to revisit the past


And make all the wrongs right
And correct all the mistakes


You would've been here with me
You would have stayed by my side


Sharing love and life
And shared our love and life together


Together
As a unit


(Laughing, holding, touching, kissing)
(Expressing emotions physically)


Like we used to
As we did in the past


(Cuz all that affection I've been missing)
(Because I have not felt that same love and care)


Since the day I lost you
From the moment I lost you


(You)

And it's true
That is a fact


(True)
(Reaffirming the previous statement)


Now that we're through
Now that our relationship has ended


Every night I've been alone
Every night I spend by myself


Hoping you'll come home
Wishing for your return


I daydream constantly
I have persistent fantasies


Feeling it was meant to be
Believing that we were destined for each other


But now it's killing me
But now it is causing me pain


When you walked away from me
When you left me behind


I thought I'd have a second chance
I expected another opportunity


But now you're in a new romance
But now you are in a new relationship


A new girl, a new love
With someone else, someone new

I am aware it is not right


But I hope you think of us
But I hope you remember what we had

I cannot move on from you

No one else will do
No one else can replace you

My heart will never change
My feelings will always remain the same

They will remain constant
