And I tell myself to let the story end...

Sara Bareilles, "Gonna Get Over You"

Goodbye

Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?

Layin' down the law that I live by,

Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,

Brimming with the words that go unsung

Simmer then the burn for a someone,

A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,

My heart will rest in someone else's hand

My 'why not me?' philosophy began,

And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me

Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,

Hang from your hands

Well, no more,

I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I make it at the thought of you, what for?

It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,

I dare you darling, just you wait and see

But this time not for you but just for me,

And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday

Say it's coming soon,

Someday without you,

All I can do

Is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,

I won't say I'm sorry,

I'll be alright

Once I find the other side of someday

Oohoohooohoohooh...

Oohoohooohoohooh...

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday

*****

I can't help it. I sincerely love this song. And the video...oh the video. I think my favorite part is 3:25 when the confetti starts flying.

Oh, who am I kidding? I love the whole damn thing!

And I will, I will be alright. Maybe not tonight.

But someday.
