Getting Over You
It’s been a year now since we were like family,
We talk sometimes now, but are so far from how close we use to be,
When I drive by your estate, the one I spent so many nights in,
I think of when we were just two inseparable kids,
It shouldn’t hurt this much to see you moving on,
But when you left it hurt enough to write this song,
You’re making inside jokes, just like we use to do,
In June 2024, I thought I’d never have to miss you,
We said going to different schools, wouldn’t change our friendship,
Yet the moment we left that classroom, your tone began to shift,
I thought I’d found my maid of honour for my wedding day,
But you were just another lesson, the hardest one I had to face,
It shouldn’t hurt this much to see you moving on,
But when you left it hurt enough to write this song,
You’re making inside jokes just like we used to do,
In June 2024, I thought I’d never have to miss you,
Opened, delivered, texting dry,
Until you left without a goodbye,
You will never know about the tears I’ve cried,
Each one hitting the pillowcase, shows how much I have tried,
I tried to keep our friendship, you were just like family,
Now a year later, you still mean so much to me,
It shouldn’t hurt this much to see you moving on,
But when you left it hurt enough to write this song,
You’re making inside jokes just like we use to do,
In June 2024, I thought I’d never have to miss you,
In June 2024, I thought I’d never lose you.
