Now that it's all said and done I can't believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down Like an old abandoned house What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath I felt as if I was in way to deep Guess I let you get the best of me Well, I never saw it coming I should have started running A long, long time ago! And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally gettin' better Now I'm picking up the pieces From spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you! You took a hammer to these walls Dragged the memories down the hall Packed your bags, and walked away There was nothing I could say And when you slammed the front door shut A lot of others opened up So did my eyes, so I could see That you never were the best for me Well, I never saw it coming I should have started running A long, long time ago! And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally gettin' better Now I'm picking up the pieces From spending all of these years Putting my heart back together Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you! Well, I never saw it coming I should have started running A long, long time ago! And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know Well, I never saw it coming I should have started running A long, long time ago! And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally gettin' better Now I'm picking up the pieces From spending all of these years Putting my heart back together whoa Putting my heart back together whoa Cause I got over you, I got over you, I got over you The day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you
