Getting Over You

Willie Nelson

Why do I still write
Why do I still call 
Why do I still think 
There's hope for us at all 
These are the tings I hate 
But they're the things I do
To get over you 

Sunsets make me cry 
Old pictures make me grin 
But I don't really care 
To see your face again 
These are the things I say 
But they're so hard to do 
Like getting over you 

You gotta believe that there's a reason 
That we surrender up our hearts 
But there's a vantage point 
And it takes some time to find 
Where you can see how all the pieces fit 
As you watch 'em fall apart 

Now I don't think it's right 
And you don't know what's wrong 
My heart keeps asking me 
Just where do we belong 
It's not as though my life 
Ain't hard enough to do 
Try getting over you 

You gotta believe that there's a reason 
That we surrender up our hearts 
But there's a vantage point 
And it takes some time to find 
Where you can see how all the pieces fit 
As you watch 'em fall apart 

And other people say 
Stop living in the past 
But when there's nothing left 
It's your memory that lasts 
It's later than you think 
But still this isn't through 
This getting over you 

Now it's later than you think 
And still this isn't through 
This getting over you
