Get Ova U
Omar Afuni Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been some time since you and I went our own ways
I'm sure that you've moved on, but I'm still in my place
I drag myself to work, I force myself to eat
I try to get rid of this hurt, but it's worst when I go to sleep

This world don't mean anything if I'm living here without you
And now that you're not here there's nothing else for me left to do
But at some point I gotta stop my heart from breaking over you

Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I gotta find a way)
Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I know I gotta gotta)

Gotta get ova you Gotta get o-ova you You and I are overdue

I try and try to put a smile up on my face
but it's hard with all these memories that I can't erase
You're everywhere I go, the traces of what's left
of what used to be you and me at our best

Can't keep living this way, you're my drug, I'm addicted to ya
I need a cure for my condition, I wish there was one to
help me ease my pain for good & stop my heart from breaking over you

Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I gotta find a way)
Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I know I gotta gotta)

Gotta get ova you Gotta get o-ova you You and I are overdue

Middle 8:
Never look back, no point in that
You are all that you need to have
Just look around, love's everywhere
I can feel it in the air

Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I gotta find a way)
Ha ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a, Ha ha-a-a (I know I gotta gotta)





Gotta get ova you Gotta get o-ova you You and I are overdue
