Lyrics
It took awhile I know it took way too long
For me to let go of your name
I didn?t want you back, but I didn?t want you gone
You were my fire and my rain
I spent a long time hurt, diggin in your dirt
But now I?m finally breathing on my own
And I?ve stopped wondering where you are at all
And there?s something I think you otta know
You may think you have me where you left me but you?re wrong
You may think I?m home stirring my stew
Welcome to my past, you?re there at last
I?m over you... I?m over you
You were hanging in my closet, lingering in my sheets
You just wouldn?t lay down and die
I couldn?t cut lose from underneath your reigns
I couldn?t get my heart untied
I won?t save your place anymore and I won?t set your table
And that?s OK by me
Cuz maybe you showed me a little bit of heaven,
but then you put me through hell
And now I?m back where I need to be
I?m over you, I?m over us
My bed?s already made
I finally broke the chain around
My heart and walked away
I?m over you... I?m over you...
