I don't need to fall at your feet

Just 'cause you cut me to the bone

And I won't miss the way that you kiss me

We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself...



I'll get over you... I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I am the king of wishful thinking



I refuse to give in to my blues

That's not how it's going to be

And I deny the tears in my eyes

I don't want to let you see... no

That you have made a hole in my heart

And now I've got to fool myself...



I'll get over you... I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking...

I'll get over you... I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking



I will never, never shed a tear for you

I'll get over you



If I don't listen to the talk of the town

Then maybe I can fool myself...



I'll get over you... I know I will

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you... I know I will

You made a hole in my heart

But I won't shed a tear for you

I'll be the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you...

I'll pretend my heart's still beating

'Cause I've got no more tears for you

I'm the king of wishful thinking...

I'll get over you... I know I will

You made a hole in my heart

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
