Story Behind the Song
This song is a true story about breaking up with a woman who's already taken. It was written while I was depressed at work and didn't have anything to do. The song was judged good enough to come in the Top 50 songs in the country category in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
Lyrics
Dont Tell Me Its Over
I wish I could find the magic words to say
Abracadabra, hocus pocus, and everything might change
But those magic little words, honey, I just dont know
So Ill keep hurting inside and try not to let it show.
We were torn apart by people who dont understand
And that thing on your finger known as a wedding band
Well that band of gold that keeps your sweet love bound
Has caused my whole world to come tumbling down.
Chorus:
But dont tell me its over, my heart wont understand
Dont tell me its over, because over dont fit in my plans
Yes, my heart knows that our love was once strong and true
But dont tell me its over cause Im not over you
Well I knew right from the start that youd never leave
But thats not what my heart wanted to believe
So Ill just close my eyes and keep right on pretending
This fairy tale might still have a happy ending
Chorus:
But dont tell me its over, my heart wont understand
Dont tell me its over, because over dont fit in my plans
Yes, my heart knows that our love was once strong and true
But dont tell me its over cause Im not over you
Yes, my heart knows that our love was once strong and true
But dont tell me its over cause Im not over
Dont tell me its over cause Im not over
Dont tell me its over because Im not over you
