Tonight I'm Getting Over You - Carly Rae Jepsen
The Experience
"It's over." Those are words you never wanted to hear. Never wanted to say. But you said them and heard them. And now it is over. But the hole is still there. That's what Carly Rae Jepsen is singing about. You can't love someone, have that love turn to hate, and then walk away without any scars...
My Take
Love is a risk. It always will be, because you give yourself away. But when love fails, you never get it all back. A piece of you gets left behind. And that means racking your brains and praying your heart out before putting it all on the line for love. True love is a treasure. True love doesn't bring heartbreak. But not every love is true.

LYRICS
I wanna smash your fears
And get drunken off your tears
Don't you share your smile with anyone else but me
I wanna touch your heart
I wanna crush it in my hands
Make you plead and cry as you give up all the lies
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
Stuck in a real bad dream
And, man, it feels so new to me
Should be in your arms but I'm begging at your feet
It's been a real hard night
And I just hold my pillow tight
It won't love me back, no, it's not you and I
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
And get drunken off your tears
Don't you share your smile with anyone else but me
I wanna touch your heart
I wanna crush it in my hands
Make you plead and cry as you give up all the lies
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
Stuck in a real bad dream
And, man, it feels so new to me
Should be in your arms but I'm begging at your feet
It's been a real hard night
And I just hold my pillow tight
It won't love me back, no, it's not you and I
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you, over you - oh, oh, over you
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing till the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
