Not Over You

The Not Over You Songfacts reports the song poignantly evokes the difficulty of getting over someone. "'Not Over You' is about trying to get past someone emotionally," DeGraw explained to AOL Music. "You create this scenario - you see them in your dreams and if you bumped into them, you would let them know that you're doing fine and you're past the breakup - but you'd be lying."

[Verse 1] Dreams: that's where I have to go To see your beautiful face anymore I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio Hope, hope there's a conversation We both admit we had it good But until then it's alienation, I know That much is understood And I realize [Chorus] If you ask me how I'm doing I would say I'm doing just fine I would lie and say that you're not on my mind (You're not on my mind, you're not on my mind) But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two And finally I'm forced to face the truth No matter what I say, I'm not over you Not over you (not over you) [Verse 2] Damn, damn girl you do it well And I thought you were innocent Took this heart and put it through hell But still you're magnificent I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me I turn around and I'm back in the game Even better than the old me (Old me) But I'm not even close without you [Chorus] If you ask me how I'm doing I would say I'm doing just fine I would lie and say that you're not on my mind (You're not on my mind, you're not on my mind) But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two And finally I'm forced to face the truth No matter what I say, I'm not over you [Bridge] And if I had the chance to renew You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do I could get back on the right track But only if you'd be convinced So until then... [Chorus] If you ask me how I'm doing I would say I'm doing just fine I would lie and say that you're not on my mind But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two And finally I'm forced to face the truth No matter what I say, I'm not over you [Outro] Not over you (Not over you) Not over you (Not over you) Not over you (Not over you)
