Story Behind The Song
I realized that a lot of the people in my life, so willing to give me advice, were really interested in themselves and not my well-being. I wanted to give anyone who needed it a way to say I don't listen to you anymore. Stop talking to me.

Lyrics
Over You
You know I've been listening to you
as you tell me what you supposedly do for me
unlike all the other fools I see what you do
but that don't do a thing for me
So I'm thru looking to you
to be what I need
Now I've got some news for you
Now I'm gonna do how I do
when I do what I do
no more looking up to you
Because I'm so over you
I'm gonna lock my door so stop knocking
don't cross your heart stomp beg and plead
because I'm so over you
talk all you want to
until your face turns blue
because I'm so over you
I know you want some more
but I've got nothing more for you
I know you've been betting on me
to fall to my knees
to show how much I need you
Like there was a time when you had my mind
and I did what you told me to
but I don't believe you don't believe
that I know how this is supposed to be
and now I'm so gone
that there ain't no need
for me to say I'm about to leave
REPEAT CHORUS
today I know you'll never change all of the things
you maybe thought of me
but I really think you 'ought to refrain
for thinking and wishing
you could dump you shit on me
today I hope you finally see
that the best I can be
is all that you'll get from me
so maybe now you 'ought to stop, stop thinking
I'm standing in the place that you need to be
