Why Can't I Get Over You

Although it's been such a long time
I still can't get past the moment it happened
Thought by now I'd be feelin fine
But here I'm cryin when I should be laughin

How quickly I've recovered from
The pain of your emotional bruises
Now memories of you overcome
With their fleeting moments of kindness

You loved me like nobody else
You hurt me like nobody else

Why do I want to hold on
To someone who treated me badly
Why am I sorry you're gone
When I wanted you gone emphatically
Why am I not getting over
What nearly put me under
Why can't I get over
You

I wish I knew why I can't let go
But I just can't find the answer
I wish I knew why it hurts me so
Every time I see you with her

I should tell her all you did to hurt me
And how she was just one more slap in the face
I should be giving her my sympathy
Instead of wishin I were in her place

You hurt me like nobody else
You loved me like nobody else

Why do I want to hold on
To someone who treated me badly
Why am I sorry you're gone
When I wanted you gone emphatically
Why am I not getting over
What nearly put me under
Why can't I get over
You
