Verse 1:
Feelings overflow
And Iâm not letting go
Though in my heart I know
I know
Chorus:
Donât wanna be over you (3 x)
But you are not you
Verse 2:
She said this wasnât easy for her
Deciding to walk away wasnât easy to her
And she said, she felt the world was just something that she observed
That she was inadequate
That her place hadnât been earned
She said, she wasnât happy with how her life had turned
Feeling the real her was something she had to learn
I said, this isnât easy but I support unnerved
Believing that in time sheâd wake up and return
But hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeks
And those weeks created something of which I couldnât speak
Except to say it spoke as if I wasnât me
As if we now hadnât 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 canât conceive
This had to be a thing
Sort of like a changeling
It acted and spoke the part
But her essence it couldnât sing
Chorus:
Donât wanna be over you (3 x)
But Iâll just have to make it through
Cuz you are not you
Verse 3:
When youâve gone astray
And the world just wonât obey
When you fall away
Well we all must find our own way
Verse 4:
Itâs 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 oneâs future isnât 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 divisionâs the test
Well every day we had wasnât anything short of blessed
So changeling, change brings
More than deranged things
Strange things
Iâve 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
Iâll introduce myself
Now you introduce yourself
Weâll smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt
Chorus:
Donât wanna be over you (3 x)
But you are not you
Donât wanna be over you (3 x)
But you are not you
You are not you (5x)
