I'm losing my self-control Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in But I don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole Cross my heart, I won't do it again I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line" And I do, I do But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line And I think of you Two years, and just like that My head still takes me back Thought it was done But I guess it's never really over Oh, we were such a mess But wasn't it the best? Thought it was done But I guess it's never really over Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again I guess I could try hypnotherapy I gotta rewire this brain 'Cause I can't even go on the internet Without even checking your name I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line" And I do, I do But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line I think of you Two years, and just like that My head still takes me back Thought it was done But I guess it's never really over Oh, we were such a mess But wasn't it the best? Thought it was done But I guess it's never really over Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again Thought we kissed goodbye Thought we meant this time was the last But I guess it's never really over Thought we drew the line Right through you and I Can't keep going back I guess it's never really over, hey Two years, and just like that My head still takes me back Thought it was done But I guess it's never really over Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again And I'll have to get over you all over again Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again And I'll have to get over you all over again Over you all over again Thought we kissed goodbye Thought we meant this time was the last But I guess it's never really over Thought we drew the line Right through you and I Can't keep going back I guess it's never really over
