Over You
Daughtry(도트리) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that it's all said and done
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I felt as if I was in way to deep
Guess I let you get the best of me

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago!
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally gettin' better
Now I'm picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you!

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags, and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes, so I could see
That you never were the best for me

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago!
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally gettin' better
Now I'm picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you!

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago!
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago!
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally gettin' better
Now I'm picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together whoa
Putting my heart back together whoa




Cause I got over you, I got over you, I got over you
The day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you

Line by Line Meaning

Now that it's all said and done
Reflecting on the past now that the relationship is over


I can't believe you were the one
Surprised that the person who tore me down was the same person who built me up


To build me up and tear me down
To raise my hopes and then crush them


Like an old abandoned house
Like a structure that was once promising but now left empty


What you said when you left
The last words spoken before leaving


Just left me cold and out of breath
The words were shocking and took my breath away


I felt as if I was in way too deep
I realized I was too emotionally invested and vulnerable


Guess I let you get the best of me
Realizing that I gave too much of myself to the wrong person


Well, I never saw it coming
I didn't anticipate this outcome


I should have started running
I should have noticed the warning signs and left sooner


A long, long time ago!
Much earlier, when I still had the chance


And I never thought I'd doubt you
I never expected to question your intentions


I'm better off without you
My life is improved now that you're gone


More than you, more than you know
You didn't realize how much of a negative impact you had on me


I'm slowly getting closure
I'm working through my emotions and healing


I guess it's really over
Coming to terms with the fact that the relationship is truly done


I'm finally gettin' better
I'm starting to feel more like myself again


Now I'm picking up the pieces
Trying to move forward and put myself back together


From spending all of these years
Reflecting on the time I spent in the relationship


Putting my heart back together
Piecing together my emotions and recovering from the pain


Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you!
I never thought I would heal from the pain, but I finally did


You took a hammer to these walls
You broke down the emotional barriers that I had built up


Dragged the memories down the hall
Forced me to confront painful memories and emotions


Packed your bags, and walked away
Left abruptly and without warning


There was nothing I could say
I was powerless to change the situation


And when you slammed the front door shut
The finality of the situation was clear


A lot of others opened up
New opportunities and perspectives arose


So did my eyes, so I could see
I gained clarity and insight


That you never were the best for me
Realizing that I deserved better and that the person wasn't right for me


Putting my heart back together whoa
Continuing to heal and work through emotional pain


Cause I got over you, I got over you, I got over you
Finally moving on and putting the past behind me


The day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you!
Reiterating the fact that I never thought I would heal, but I finally did

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now that it's all said and done
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up then tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
And what you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me

[Chorus]
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought to doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you

[Verse 2]
You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me

[Chorus]
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you

[Bridge]
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know

[Chorus]
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
(Woooahhh)
I'm putting my heart back together
(Woooahhh)

[Outro]
Cause I got over you
(Woooahhh)
I got over you
(Woooahhh)
I got over you
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you

@user-nk2xr6hg6h

Russian version
Сейчас, после всего сказанного и сделанного,
Я не могу поверить, что ты был единственным,
Кто укреплял меня и разрушал,
Как заброшенный дом.
Слова, которые ты сказал, уходя,
Заставили меня оцепенеть и перестать дышать.
Я зашла слишком далеко, любя тебя так глубоко.
Думаю, я отдала тебе все самое лучшее, что было во мне.

Припев:
Я не замечала, как это приближается.
Надо было начать бежать от тебя
Давным-давно.
И я никогда не подозревала, что смогу в тебе усомниться.
Мне намного лучше будет без тебя.
Гораздо лучше, чем ты можешь себе представить.
Я медленно подбираюсь ближе,
Наверное, к концу всего этого.
Мне, наконец-то, лучше.
И сейчас я собираю осколки.
Я провела все эти годы,
Пытаясь склеить части моего разбитого сердца.
Потому что в день, когда я думала,
Что не выживу,
Я забыла тебя.

Ты разбил молотком стены,
Протащила по коридору воспоминания,
Собрала сумки и ушла.
А я не нашел, что сказать.
И когда ты захлопнула за собой входную дверь,
Открылось множество других,
Открылись и мои глаза, и я увидел,
Что ты никогда не была самой лучшей для меня...

Припев:
Я не замечала, как это приближается.
Надо было начать бежать от тебя
Давным-давно.
И я никогда не подозревала, что смогу в тебе усомниться.
Мне намного лучше будет без тебя.
Гораздо лучше, чем ты можешь себе представить.
Я медленно подбираюсь ближе,
Наверное, к концу всего этого.
Мне, наконец-то, лучше.
И сейчас я собираю осколки.
Я провела все эти годы,
Пытаясь склеить части моего разбитого сердца.
Потому что в день, когда я думала,
Что не выживу,
Я забыла тебя.
