Getting Over
There ain't no getting over
doing what you gotta do.
There ain't no getting over,
the things that you go through.
You can try when loved ones die
but tears are gonna fall.
No one learns to walk or run
until they learn to crawl.
Memories of yesterday
the horrors that you faced.
Innocence it took away
and nightmares are replaced.
Waiting for the rain to stop,
while you keep getting wetter.
It's only getting different,
it's not getting any better.
Things that were, no longer are.
And yet, they seem to be.
Changing rearranging
somewhere deep inside of me.
There ain't no getting over
the things that you go through.
There ain't no getting over.
Do what you gotta do.
