Getting Over You
Heartache Echoes: Jackie Lee's Poignant Journey of Moving On
Lyrics
I bet you had a couple long nights sleeping alone
The listener probably experienced lonely nights after our separation.
I bet even on a short drive if our song came on
Even during a short drive, hearing our song might evoke emotions, causing the listener to stop and cry.
You'd pull over on the shoulder and cry, thinking 'bout how we used to be
Reflecting on the past, the listener would cry, reminiscing about our previous relationship.
Girl, I bet you had a hard time getting over me
Suggesting the difficulty the listener faced in moving on from our past relationship.
Ooh, that might be true
Acknowledging the possibility that the mentioned experiences were challenging.
But if you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you
Highlighting that overcoming the singer's own emotions and memories is even more difficult.
I don't wanna make light of what you're going through
Expressing empathy for the listener's struggles without undermining them.
But if you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you
Reiterating the notion that moving on from the singer is harder than the listener's own challenges.
Bet you never taste my kiss in a rum and Coke
Suggesting that the listener may not have experienced certain intimate moments with someone else.
But you never spent all night at that old bar praying, waiting, hoping
Implies the singer's dedication, spending nights at a bar hoping for a chance encounter.
That I might walk into your again like we never said goodbye
The desire for a reunion, as if no goodbye had ever occurred.
Make the cab take the long way by my place to see if someones parked outside
Checking if the singer's presence is felt by observing surroundings.
Ooh, even if you do
Even if the listener does these things, it's still harder for the singer to move on.
But if you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you
Reemphasizing the difficulty the singer faces in overcoming their emotions about the listener.
I don't wanna make light of what you're going through
Reassuring the listener that their struggles are acknowledged and not belittled.
But if you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you
Repeating the idea that the singer's challenge surpasses the listener's in getting over the relationship.
Yeah, try getting over you
A direct invitation for the listener to try getting over the singer.
Moving on and I can barely move
Expressing the difficulty of moving on, using physical incapacity as a metaphor.
Yeah, gotta face it baby, try getting over you
An explicit directive for the listener to face the challenge of moving on.
Ooh, my point of view
Shifting the perspective to the singer's point of view in dealing with the breakup.
If you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you
Reiterating that getting over the listener is harder for the singer.
I don't wanna make light of what you're going through
Expressing understanding and empathy for the listener's emotional struggle.
But if you think getting over me was hard, try getting over you, yeah
Repeating the idea that the singer's challenge surpasses the listener's in getting over the relationship.
Oh, try getting over you, girl
A final encouragement for the listener to try getting over the singer.
