In the poignant lyrics of this track, Daughtry explores the emotional journey of overcoming a deeply painful breakup. The narrative captures the protagonist's initial disbelief and devastation upon realizing their partner's betrayal and abandonment. Through vivid imagery, such as comparing their shattered relationship to an "old abandoned house" and describing the departure as taking a "hammer to these walls," the song conveys profound heartache. However, it also charts a path towards healing and empowerment. The recurring theme of "getting closure" and "putting my heart back together" underscores a resilient spirit that emerges stronger from adversity. Ultimately, the song is an anthem of personal growth, illustrating how one can rebuild themselves after enduring emotional turmoil and find strength in newfound independence.
Over You
Lyrics
Now that it's all said and done
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up then tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes, so I could see
That you never were the best for me
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
Well, I never saw it coming
I should've started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure
I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces
And spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
(Whoa-whoa-whoa)
Well, now I'm putting my heart back together
(Whoa-whoa-whoa)
'Cause I got over you
(Whoa-whoa-whoa)
I got over you
And I got over you
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
