Over You
KIDZ BOP Kids 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
Felt if I was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
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
Spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

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

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
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
Spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

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

Well, I never saw it coming
I should have started running
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
Spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together

Whoa, I'm putting my heart back together
Whoa, 'cause I got over you
Whoa, and I got over you
Whoa, I got over you





'Cause 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
Now that we are over and done with each other


I can't believe you were the one
I am surprised and cannot fathom that it was you I was with


To build me up and tear me down
You alternated between making me feel great and then bringing me down


Like an old abandoned house
I felt like an old derelict structure


What you said when you left
The words you spoke when you exited


Just left me cold and out of breath
Those words left me feeling numb and couldn't breathe


Felt if I was in way too deep
I was emotionally invested more than intended


Guess I let you get the best of me
I allowed you to control me and the situation


Well, I never saw it coming
I was taken off guard


I should have started running
I should have heeded the signs and left earlier


Long, long time ago
A while back


And I never thought I'd doubt you
I never thought I could doubt you


I'm better off without you
I am happier and better now that I am not with you


More than you, more than you know
Much happier than you could ever understand


I'm slowly getting closure
I am gradually resolving my emotions regarding the situation


I guess it's really over
I believe it is truly done and dusted


I'm finally getting better
I am gradually getting better


And now I'm picking up the pieces
I am now collecting the broken pieces and trying to move on


Spending all of these years
Devoting so much time


Putting my heart back together
Trying to repair and heal my heart from the damage done


The day I thought I'd never get through
The day I felt like I would never recover from the situation


I got over you
I have now moved on from you


You took a hammer to these walls
You demolished all the walls I built up around me


Dragged the memories down the hall
You took away all the memories I housed inside me


Packed your bags and walked away
Grabbed your things and left


There was nothing I could say
I had no response or comeback


When you slammed the front door shut
When you closed the door with a bang


A lot of others opened up
Many other opportunities presented themselves


So did my eyes, so I could see
I had an epiphany and could finally discern the reality of the situation


That you never were the best for me
You were never the best thing that happened to me


Whoa, I'm putting my heart back together
Wow, I am trying to rebuild my heart that fell apart


Whoa, 'cause I got over you
Wow, I was able to move on from you


Whoa, and I got over you
Wow, I was able to move on from you


Whoa, I got over you
Wow, I was able to move on from you
