Where there's a cloud don't mean there's rain Tears in my eyes don't mean there's pain Don't flatter yourself, I'm over you Things aren't always what they seem You can't believe everything you read Over my face, I'm over you You heard I'm drinkin' more than I should And I ain't been lookin' all that good Someone told you I was takin' it rough Why they makin' those stories up When I'm over you? There are times that you've been around You would've seen me broken down But now I'm not, I'm over you So if I seem a little bit cold It only mean you lost the hope You had on me, I'm over you You heard I'm drinkin' more than I should And I ain't been lookin' all that good Someone told you I was takin' it rough Why they makin' those stories up When I'm over you? You heard I'm drinkin' more than I should And I ain't been lookin' all that good Someone told you I was takin' it rough Why they makin' those stories up When I'm over you? I'm over you I'm over you I'm over you
