Over You
Breaking Free: Escaping the Chains of Heartache
Lyrics
Staying here is killing me
Feeling suffocated or emotionally drained by staying in this situation
I know it wasn't meant to be
Recognizing that the relationship wasn't destined to work out
I wish I had the strength to leave
Wishing for the strength to break free from the relationship
I want to get out of here, so I can breath
Desiring escape to find relief and freedom from the situation
I want to be over you
Expressing the desire to move on from the feelings associated with the relationship
Give me the strength to walk
Requesting inner strength to take the decisive step of leaving
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of loneliness
Describing the shock and loneliness of leaving, facing the reality of being alone
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
Willingness to endure the emotional pain and challenges (the blues) of separation
I want to be over you
Reiterating the longing to move beyond the emotions tied to the relationship
Try to talk it out, now I'm walking out
Trying to resolve issues but ultimately choosing to leave
I want to be over you
Reaffirming the desire to move past the emotional attachment
We're stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
Feeling stuck and having an intuitive sense that the relationship isn't right
I want to be over you
Expressing the strong desire to overcome lingering emotions for the person
A pretty face and pillow talk
Describing the superficial aspects of attraction (physical appearance, conversation)
Has got me weak and I'm all worn up
Feeling emotionally drained and worn out due to the relationship
Love is hard, desire is strong
Acknowledging the difficulty in love and the strength of desire
A vague sense of something's wrong with us
Sensing that something isn't right in the relationship
I want to be over you
Reiterating the wish to move beyond the emotional ties
Try to talk it out, now I'm walking out
Attempting to resolve issues but ultimately choosing to leave, again
I want to be over you
Reaffirming the desire to move past the emotional attachment, again
We're stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
Feeling stuck and having an intuitive sense that the relationship isn't right, again
I want to be over you
Expressing the strong desire to overcome lingering emotions for the person, again
I'm going down your crooked road
Choosing to follow the path set by the other person despite paying a personal cost
I've paid the tolls
Having invested in the relationship and questioning the decision to quit now
Why quit now you say'
Continuing despite challenges, believing things are going well
We're on a roll
Feeling momentum in the relationship
Give me the strength to walk
Requesting inner strength to take the decisive step of leaving, again
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of loneliness,
Describing the shock and loneliness of leaving, again
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
Willingness to endure the emotional pain and challenges (the blues) of separation, again
I want to be over you
Reiterating the longing to move beyond the emotions tied to the relationship, again
I want to be over you
Continued expression of the desire to move on from the feelings associated with the relationship, again
I want to be over you
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to overcome emotional attachment
Over you
Final expression of the desire to move past the emotions tied to the person
