“Over You” is the fourth single from Daughtry‘s self-titled 2006 debut album. It debuted at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at #18, becoming the band’s third top twenty hit on the chart.
The music video features Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr and shows a different interpretation of the song, using the lyrics as being about getting over an alcohol addiction, opposed to a really bad breakup, as described by the artist.
OVER YOU Lyrics
Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of me
Well I never saw it coming
I should’ve started running
A long .. long time ago
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting better
And now I’m picking up the pieces
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hal
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me
Well I never saw it coming
I should’ve started running
A long .. long time ago
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting bette
And now I’m picking up the pieces
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you
Well I never saw it coming
I should’ve started running
A long .. long time ago
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
Well I never saw it coming
I should’ve started running
A long .. long time ago
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting better
And now I’m picking up the pieces
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Well I’m putting my heart back together
‘Cause I got over you
Well I got over you
I got over you
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you
