"Gonna Get Over You (Demo)" lyrics - SARA BAREILLES

[Intro:]
Goodbye
Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Laying 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
Ooh

[Chorus:]
Ooh, how'm I going to 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
