Haven't Gotten Over U


I'm really sorry I called you...
I thought we could talk
but I guess I forgot for the moment
that we are through...
what am I going to do?/

/Guess you'll always be my lifelong obsession
I should have walked...
I owed that much ,at least to you..
Instead I tried to talk..
I was a fool-
a fool who walked in the wrong direction./

I guess I haven't got over you./

I heard that you were seeing someone new now...
thought you might change your mind..
I'm still acting like a fool and how...
I've been ignoring the fact...
that in our entire relationship..you'd never
been so exact.../

/girl ,I guess you're destined
to be my lifelong obsession
and I find that after all this time
and everything you put me through.../

/I guess I haven't gotten over you..
I don't know what to do..
when ,I haven't gotten over you./
