OVER AND OVER

I thought I finally figured it out I stopped wondering what you were about Told myself I was turning the page That your name was just a memory saved I didn't need another sign Didn't need to ask myself why But then I saw you standing there And suddenly I was back somewhere Over and over, I change my mind Tell myself I've left you behind Then one little memory pulls me back And I'm right where I started at I say I'm done; I say I'm free Then I remember what you meant to me I don't know why I can't let go Of something my heart used to know Over and overrrrrr I go back again I tell myself that I don't care But I still look when you're somewhere near I tell myself it's just a habit But my heart still hasn't had it A white Ford in a parking lot A familiar place, a familiar thought And for a second, I forget That I'm supposed to be over it Over and over, I change my mind Tell myself I've left you behind Then one little memory pulls me back And I'm right where I started at I say I'm done; I say I'm free Then I remember what you meant to me I don't know why I can't let go Of something my heart used to know Over and overrrrrr Maybe someday it won't feel this way Maybe your face won't change my day Maybe I'll hear your name and smile Instead of staying stuck for a while But until then I'll understand Some things take longer than we planned
