I say that I'm over you

I say I'm over you
Yet I see you everywhere
In the beach
Picking up shells and pretending 
That I'd bring them to you
Saving the iridescent ones 
For you

And I'd watch the sunset
Act like you're next to me
I can almost smell your cologne in the air
Then I turn and realize again
You're not there

I say I'm over you
And I see you talking with someone else
Someone prettier than I'll ever be
Feel my heart break into
Smaller pieces from the already small pieces 
You've left behind

But I shouldn't feel that way

And I say that I'm over you
