I Cant Get Over You
Good & Broken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm back to where I started
Now I stand alone,
Since we've parted
You once were here
With your arms wide open,
Then disappear, left my poor heart broken
No matter how hard I try
I can't keep this feelings inside
(Chorus)
I can't over you
Even if I wanted to
If I could leave this behind
Then everything would be fine
No matter what I do,
I can't get over you
Please understand
This isn't easy for me,
I never planned for anything like this to happen to me
I can't forget each day goes by and all I think of
Is how you left me hanging onto every ounce of your love
No matter how hard I try
I can't bare to say goodbye
I can't get over you
Even if I wanted to
If I could leave this behind
Then everything would be fine
No matter what I do,
I can't get over you
There's that a day that goes by,
That I don't sit here and cry
Thinking back, back to the times you held me all through the night
(Now you're leaving) Now you're leaving me, behind
(Now you're leaving) Now you're leaving me, behind
No matter how hard I try,
I can't bare to say goodbye
I can't get over you,
Even if I wanted to
If I could leave this behind
Then everything would be fine
No matter what I do
I can't get over you, over you, over you, over you.
