Verse 1: Feelings overflow And I’m not letting go Though in my heart I know I know
Chorus: Don’t wanna be over you (3 x) But you are not you
Verse 2: She said this wasn’t easy for her Deciding to walk away wasn’t easy to her And she said, she felt the world was just something that she observed That she was inadequate That her place hadn’t been earned She said, she wasn’t happy with how her life had turned Feeling the real her was something she had to learn I said, this isn’t easy but I support unnerved Believing that in time she’d wake up and return But hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeks And those weeks created something of which I couldn’t speak Except to say it spoke as if I wasn’t me As if we now hadn’t been together since we were teens As if these nine years were from a convincing dream And the woman I thought I loved never loved me, I can’t conceive This had to be a thing Sort of like a changeling It acted and spoke the part But her essence it couldn’t sing
Chorus: Don’t wanna be over you (3 x) But I’ll just have to make it through Cuz you are not you
Verse 3: When you’ve gone astray And the world just won’t obey When you fall away Well we all must find our own way
Verse 4: It’s quite amusing how being apart can yield Levels of clarity on confusion once thought surreal And what amazement to come to find you can heal That one’s future isn’t ill-fated but slated for high appeal Well solace gives opportunity to reveal And time sheds perspective on why one feels To see success even in division’s the test Well every day we had wasn’t anything short of blessed So changeling, change brings More than deranged things Strange things I’ve near persevered in an upswing So cling to new hope More than a good show So do sing, do glow And to this new you Let us remove ado Let us now greet renewed and just start from a different view I’ll introduce myself Now you introduce yourself We’ll smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt
Chorus: Don’t wanna be over you (3 x) But you are not you
Don’t wanna be over you (3 x) But you are not you You are not you (5x)
