## Lyrics

* Standard
* Remix

I tried hard to make you want me

But we're not supposed to be

And the truth will always haunt me

Even though it set me free

And my tears flow like the ocean

As they floated in the breeze

They were falling in slow motion

And they brought me to my knees

You're haunting me, taunting me all in my brain

Turn out that light now all that remains

Fills me with doubt

And I'm shouting your name out loud

Why do you wanna put me through the pain?

I get the feeling I'll never escape

I can't hide away from the shame of you

Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow

You won't bring me down

And I'll get over you

These tears will get me through

And I'll get over you

I, I, I'll get over you

I, I, I'll get over you

I, I, I'll get over you

I, I, I'll get over you

When did you lose your emotion?

When did you become so cruel?

And if you want to cut me open

Says a thousands words 'bout you

And in time I know you'll leave me

Like a distant memory

I know love can be so easy

If I stop, I'll loving me

You're haunting me, taunting me all in my brain

Turn out that light now all that remains

Fills me with doubt

And I'm shouting your name out loud

Why do you wanna put me through the pain?

I get the feeling I'll never escape

I can't hide away from the shame of you

Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow

You won't bring me down

I'll get over you

Yeah, ooh

I'll get over you, woah

Tears on the ground, rain in my window

The pain washes out

And I'll get over you

These tears will get me through

And I'll get over you

I'll get over you

I, I, I'll get over you

I'll get over you

I don't need you to call me tonight

(I'll get over you)

I don't need you to see me if I'm alright

(I'll get over you)

You left me, so leave me, I'm fine

I'll be here getting on with my life

Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow

You won't bring me down

I'll get over you

(Rain at my window, the pain washes out)

And I'll get over you

Tears on the ground, rain at my window

The pain washes out

And I'll get over you

Oh yeah,

I'll get over

I'll get over you
