Before I'm over You
Love's Melancholy Echo: Before I'm Over You
Lyrics
I just can't get it through my head you love another now instead
Struggling to accept that your love has shifted to someone else.
Can't make myself believe we're really through
Unable to convince myself that our relationship has truly ended.
I'm walkin' up and down the hall talkin' to the silent wall
Engaged in solitary conversations with the empty, unresponsive walls.
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
Expressing the fear of losing sanity before getting over the emotional pain.
I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
Feeling on the verge of insanity, consumed by thoughts of the person constantly.
I'm goin' crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
Acknowledging the descent into madness and realizing the proximity to the breaking point.
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep lovin' you the same
Despite mistreatment, expressing a commitment to continue loving the person.
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
Reiterating the fear of losing one's mind due to the ongoing emotional turmoil.

[Instrumental break]
I keep your letters I should burn I wear your ring I should return
Struggling with the decision to keep mementos despite the need to let go.
But there's a million foolish things I do
Acknowledging a series of irrational actions and decisions in the aftermath.
It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph
Expressing emotional pain, even in the face of potential mockery from the other person.
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you
Reiterating the fear of losing sanity as a consequence of the emotional ordeal.
I think I've almost lost my mind...
Recapitulating the overwhelming sense of losing one's mind due to intense emotions.
