I've gotten over it

My back still bleeds
where you stabbed it
in a fit of rage
and disillusionment

years ago
back when we thought
that brute force could make
things work correctly

I don't blame you
for what you did
It's fine
It's good
I've Gotten Over It
Gotten Over It

I should have known
back when we were nineteen
that we would never amount
to a perfect couple

but the temptation was there
and the draw of marriage
was only increased by the birth
of our beautiful child

I don't blame you
for what happened
It's over
It's Done
I've Gotten Over It
Gotten Over It

You always idealized
the daughter of the king
and I was always a fan
of the girl who was unaware of her beauty

I am sorry
that I could never be your knight
I am sorry
that you couldn't be my neighbor

I don't blame you
and I hope
You don't blame me
It's Fine
Let's walk away
I've gotten over it
and I hope you have too

I always loved the rain
and the comfort it brings
You loved the sun
and how it lit up the sky

And you love pop rock
and I love indie folk
of course it was
never going to work

It's Fine
It's good
I've gotten over it
Gotten Over it

I've Gotten Over it
I've Gotten Over It
