Over and Done
Shaw Ryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said you love me, you tried
But your actions, they never lie
I'm feelin' it's over
Oh, it's over & done

And your promise to stay
Your body's here but you're so far away
I'm feelin' it's over
Oh, it's over & done

I can't live with a lie
And though I really need you, leave and let me cry
'Cause, baby, it's over, I'm feelin' it's over
Oh, it's over & done

You said you'll be here by nine
I could believe you lost track of time
I'm feelin' it's over
Oh, it's over & done

I make plans and you play
I give and give and give and surely you take, baby
Feelin' it's over
Yes, it's over & done

Ooh, it's so sad, it ended this way
But I can't go on believin' in y-y-yesterday
I'm feelin' it's over, I'm feelin' it's over
Oh, it's over & done, oh, yeah, hey

I can't live with a lie
And though I really need you, leave and let me cry
'Cause, baby, it's over, I'm feelin' it's over
Yes, it's over & done

I've been thinkin' about me
If I let you go that means that I'm free
I'm feelin' it's over
Said it's over & done

Ooh, it's so sad, it ended this way
But I can't go on believin' in y-y-yesterday
I'm feelin' it's over, I'm feelin' it's over
Yes, I'm feelin' it's over
Over baby, over baby, baby, it's over

I'm gonna let, let, l-l-let you fly
Oh, baby, it's over
I'm feelin' it's over




Yes, it's over, baby baby, it's over
B-b-bye, over & done
