Stage of grief: n/a “I don’t think I’m healing from losing you… I’m just learning to live without” {lyrics} Verse 1: My friends keep saying I should hate you by now They say it like it’s easy, like it’s figured out They list all the reasons I should let you go But they weren’t there for every high and low They don’t hear your voice when it’s late at night Don’t know how it felt when you held me tight I nod like I’m listening, like they’re right But I still say your name when I turn off the light Chorus: So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me in the back of my closet, back of my mind Cause it’ll only remind me of the times I was with you I won’t throw it out, but I can’t wear it close, cause it hurts too much when do So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me where your memory won’t shine through Verse 2: I tried putting distance between me and you Moved all of your things to a different room Even took our picture down off my wall But I still look for you when my phone lights up I hate that I done hate you like they do I hate that I still find pieces of you in everything I swore I outgrew Guess loving you’s the one thing I can’t lose Chorus: So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me in the back of my closet, back of my mind Cause it’ll only remind me of the times I was with you I won’t throw it out, but I can’t wear it close, cause it hurts too much when do So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me where your memory won’t shine through Bridge: They say time is supposed to fix this Like it’s something i can wait out But I don’t think i’m healing from losing you I’m just learning to live without And I act like i’ve been moving on Like I don’t feel you in every room But if I’m being honest with myself, I never really stopped loving you Chorus: So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me in the back of my closet, back of my mind Cause it only brings me back to you And how I fall every time I won’t throw it out, but I can’t wear it close it hurts too much when I do So I’ll keep the necklace you gave me where your memory won’t shine through
Me for the guitar, vocals, and lyrics {info} Run time - 5:17 Key - C major BPM - 67 {Note} Funny story: I actually wrote the chorus of this song a year ago while I was still happily dating my now ex-boyfriend… while I was on vacation ToT I found it in my notes app after the breakup and turned it into this song. It was so ironic bc I was like, “WAIT I ACTUALLY DID THAT”. Anywaysss, “Not Over You” is the 5th track on “grief” and it’s about realizing that moving on isn’t always throwing everything away. Sometimes, it’s simply starting with putting away the things that hurt somewhere where you don’t have to see them every day. I hope you enjoy “Not Over You”! <333
