King of Wishful Thinking
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'll be the king of wishful thinkin'
Buy me a drink and I'm honest like Abe Lincoln
It started out real casual but gradually
He became everything to me
Oh yea, we had our problems
Thought we'd try to solve 'em
Maybe take a break or two and try to call him again
But baby be gone
Now I wonder how long it's gonna take to move on
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 know I will
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking
