It's Over Now
by: Paddy CaseyWell it's all over now, and we both know why
'Cause we burnt our bridges as we passed them by
Yeah it's over now, and the dream is broken
And all our bitter words, will have now been spoken
Well it's all over now, well it's better this way
'Cos long goodbyes well they eat your, your heart away
It's over now, well the cup is wasted
Spilt and sour look, for what's even tasted
For all that we had, well now there's more than us at stake
History's repetition it's just too much to take
So it's all over now, yeah life's better this way
Cos long goodbye's, well they've been eating our hearts away
It's over now, it's over now
