Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming 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 coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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 think of you
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming 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 coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Two years and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done, but I
Guess it's never really over
[Chorus]
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be coming 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 coming over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again (Over you all over again)
[Outro]
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
