Lyrics

Where there’s a cloud, don’t mean there’s rain
Tears in my eyes, don’t mean there’s pain
Don’t flatter yourself
I’m over you

Things aren’t always what they seem
You can’t believe everything you read
On my face
I’m over you

You heard I’m drinking more than I should
That I ain’t been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
Why are they making those stories up?
When I’m over you

There were times that if you’d been around
You would have seen me broken down
But now you won’t
I’m over you

So if I seem a little bit cold
It only means you’ve lost the hold
You had on me
I’m over you

You heard I’m drinking more than I should
That I ain’t been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why are they making those stories up?
When I’m over you

You heard I’m drinking more than I should
That I ain’t been looking all that good
Someone told you I was taking it rough
But why are they making those stories up?

When I’m over you
I’m over you
I’m over you
