[Verse 1]
I burned the letters, threw 'em in the creek,
Watched the smoke rise, thought it’d set me free.
Your ghost still lingers, in the autumn air,
Everywhere I go, I see you standing there.
[Chorus]
I can't get over you,
No matter what I do,
It always leads back to you.
Tried running, tried hiding,
But it’s no use,
I can't get over you.
[Verse 2]
I bought a one-way ticket, headed down the line,
Hoped a new town might clear my mind.
But the jukebox played our song at the bar,
And there you were, in the strings of that guitar.
[Prechorus]
I close my eyes, but you’re still there,
Your perfume's tangled in the midnight air.
[Chorus]
I can't get over you,
No matter what I do,
It always leads back to you.
Tried whiskey, tried praying,
But it’s no use,
I can't get over you.
[Bridge]
I tore the sheets, I changed the locks,
Packed my heart up in a cardboard box.
But love ain’t something you can just undo,
It’s a stubborn flame that burns right through.
