Not Over You

The river’s half frozen

Shivering highway

Nothing but gray sky as far as I can see

The radio is broken

In this blue car I’m driving

I’m thinking that the river is feeling just like me

I hear your name

It makes me cry

Because I never got to say goodbye

The coffee that I’m drinking

Has gone stale as the weather

Photographs and dirty clothes are scattered on the floor

I know it’s wishful thinking

Growing old together

But since that Tuesday morning nothing matters anymore.

I hear your name

It makes me cry

Because I never got to say goodbye

I’m not over you

Not for a day, not for a year

It might take forever, I don’t care

I’m not over you

No I’m not over you and I don’t want to be

I know it’s wishful thinking

Growing old together

But since that Tuesday morning nothing matters anymore

I hear your name

It makes me cry

Because I never got to say goodbye

I’m not over you

Not for a day, not for a year

It might take forever, I don’t care

I’m not over you

No I’m not over you and I don’t want to be
